parenting

and child relationships.
My purpose is to assist children, adolescent, and young adults shift their thinking beyond external definitions and look inside to define themselves. Skewed definitions of self lead to difficulty regulating emotions, difficulties in school, or other emotional disorders such as depression and anxiety which can lead to poor coping skills. Parents allow me to journey with you and your child to successfully navigate the next steps toward a purposeful life.

Life has changed for an uncertain period of time. Finding a safe space to really be heard, so we can process, heal and grow is helpful during this difficult time. Feeling isolated, depressed, anxious or unable to face daily challenges is normal, but finding ways to handle the stress or difficult feelings when they become overwhelming can make life easier and bring about more success and happiness in your. Sometimes it's stress within a relationship (family, dating, marriage,
parenting
) that can really throw us off our game. Sometimes work is overwhelming. Sometimes everything seems to get us down.

Life transitions (like moving, changing careers, or becoming a
parent
) are never easy, however they happen. There are plenty of books, web sites, professional “experts,” and well-meaning know-it-all observers who are ready to tell you exactly what you need to do to be healthy and successful. Sometimes direct advice targeted at a specific solution can be helpful. Often, though, these “quick fixes” miss the mark and leave us feeling like we’ve failed. Our work together will be different as I strive to support you to discover more about yourself, better understand your own needs, and enhance your relationships with others.

parent
/child relationship, improving confidence, effective stress management, healthy boundaries and improving communication skills.
I believe that every client has their own strengths and tools to get through difficult times and to grow.

I strive to create a warm and open atmosphere so you have a comfortable space to share your thoughts, feelings and challenges.

The most important relationship you have is the one with yourself. We all have a story. Telling your story to an attuned listener can be transformational. Healing is a collaborative endeavor. As you share your experiences and I listen, you can become more connected to yourself. I work best with clients looking to address symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues, and
parenting
problems. I believe digging deep into ourselves and learning how our early relationships in life impact our present coping strategies and feelings can help us move towards the future we want.

Do you feel like you're stuck in a pattern of overthinking and second guessing the decisions you're making in your life? Like your mind is constantly running through your endless to do list? Do you catch yourself feeling guilty for not being able to be "present" enough for those you care about in your life? You're probably amazing at taking care of everyone around you, but struggling to find any time or energy to truly take care of yourself. How would it feel to be fully present? To not always be thinking about what’s next? To be relaxed and here for every season and every stage? To foster authentic, meaningful connections?

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.
