Relationships, parenting, work, community- something always needs your attention resulting in your emotions, needs and wants to be chronically pushed off, waiting for the “right time”.
With over 10 years of experience as a licensed therapist, I view the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process built on connection in which you feel seen, heard and understood with compassion, fostering deeper support and healing. Sessions are paced to meet each individual I work with exactly as they are. Laughs, cries and eye rolls are welcomed.

I appreciate you taking the time to check out my profile. I know how hard it can be to find a therapist that checks all the boxes: are they a good fit; do they have appointments that work with my schedule; will I be able to afford it? Hopefully you will find some of those answers here and if not, I'm available for a free phone consult. In our work together, I prioritize collaboration, transparency, humor, and curiosity to help bring more awareness to the patterns in your life that may be blocking you from pursuing or accomplishing personal or professional goals.

Certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help individuals, parents, and couples, explore emotions and patterns that keep them stuck.
Are you feeling stuck in cycles of conflict, disconnection, or silence at home? Have you tried to ignore painful emotions only to have them surface as tension, anxiety, or distance in your most important relationships? Most people long for calmer communication, deeper connection, and more peace in their relationships, but often struggle to achieve these goals. I help my clients uncover, understand, and express those hidden feelings so they can move from frustration and isolation to closeness and understanding.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
