I can also help and support you in other areas such as relationship issues, parenting, healing from past trauma, and more.
I just opened more session appointments, so I have immediate availability for teens and adult women. Do you feel out of control with food? Have you been recently diagnosed with a health issue that requires behavioral change? Are you tired of the overeating and diet cycle? Often times, feeling stuck with food and body image issues can lead to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem among other issues.

I believe a healthy client/therapist relationship is of the utmost importance for success in counseling. My sole purpose as a counselor is that of a facilitator and to provide my client with an environment that fosters growth. I'm optimistic about your potential to recognize those thoughts and behaviors that keep you from becoming your best self. I recognize the imbalance in the client/therapist relationship and will work to help you feel comfortable during our interaction. At times, you may be reluctant to disclose for fear of judgment. I acknowledge your fears but know that you are in a safe and confidential setting.

I also offer therapy for counselors - a safe place to process their feelings about relationships, marriage, parenting, school, finances, work, etc.
The three primary goals I help my clients work towards in therapy are healing, recovery, and change. My areas of concentration include trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, divorce recovery, narcissistic abuse recovery, and work/career-related stress. Because your unique needs bring you to therapy, we will develop goals to meet such needs and evaluate our progress as we work towards set goals. My approach to treatment is conventional (evidence-based techniques), and faith-based Christian counseling. None of us is immune to life's stressors, but effective therapy can help us remain at peace as we handle those.

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.
