Therapy is more than a place to talk — it’s a space to pause, breathe, and gently untangle the experiences that have shaped you. I see each person as inherently resilient, even when life feels overwhelming. Within a supportive and nonjudgmental environment, we can begin to make sense of what’s been heavy, reconnect with your strengths, and create room for meaningful change.

I have 10 years of experience supporting pre-teens, teens, young adults, and parents in navigating their daily "up's and down's" as a school counselor-turned-mental health clinician.
Hi! It’s great that you are exploring support- and you are not alone- at times, we all struggle to function at our best. While there is no 'magic fix', we all could use help during life's tougher times. To have therapy is to have somebody on your side who listens to and understands your challenges to offer trusted, unbiased support- a person to ‘team up’ with to plan the steps that overcome your troubles. In challenging times it’s easy to distract ourselves instead of dealing with the problems that keep us stuck in unhappy places. Unfortunately, before long they resurface in times, places, and ways we don't expect/recognize.

My experience has been that early childhood therapy and parent-training are most effective, and emotional healing occurs most readily, when parent and child are seen together.
While much of my work is with children, I also provide psychotherapy for the aging population. As individuals mature, unresolved feelings about family and self often become focal points for anxiety and mood disorders . This is the case especially if traumatic events have caused unrecognized stress.

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.
