new life challenges, parenting, and times of dealing with anxiety, depression, and developmental issues.
My goal is to help others build fulfilling and happy lives, even through unanticipated challenges and concerns, over a lifetime of development. Listening with curiosity and a thoughtful lens, I hope to team with each person as we creatively approach and work through the issues at hand, inviting and amplifying native strengths and potentials. At times dynamic, at times simply being together with certain truths, incorporating when appropriate the healing potential of working outdoors ... walking, talking, navigating terrain and thoughts.

I enjoy working with those who experience issues in confidence, motivation, stress, coping with life changes, parenting, relationships, careers, boundaries, organizational stress, ADHD, and spiritual concerns.
At one time or another, everyone struggles with feeling motivated, confident, organized, coping; dealing with change, self-image; relationships, boundaries, parenting, or our careers. Some deal with ADHD and keeping their lives on track. Many want to feel encouraged and supported. It is nice to have a positive person to listen and talk through their difficulties. They want someone to see and find their strengths, gifts and uniqueness. They want to feel empowered, hopeful that things can change for the better, calm, strong, and successful in dealing with the difficulties they face. Nothing stays the same and things do change!

My work focuses on helping people struggling with addiction and/or symptoms resulting from childhood relational trauma Over 25 years of experience, I have seen that childhood experiences of neglect or emotional, physical and sexual abuse can cause serious psychological problems. 'Less than nurturing' parenting can cause adulthood anxiety, depression and addiction. Many of my clients have struggled with addictive behaviors using substances (alcohol, drugs) or processes (sex, love, work) to deal with emotional pain. There is a high correlation between painful childhood experiences and addictive behaviors.

Parenting is TOUGH work. It's absolutely beautiful but if you ever feel exhausted, confused, stuck, helpless, or misunderstood, you are not alone. Being a child is also TOUGH work. You're constantly trying to make sense of what happens in your world and in the big world, as your body and brain are still working on mastering their developmental tasks. Every child deserves a safe and neutral space to work on what's important to them in the process of making sense of their experiences. Every parent deserves warm and compassionate support without judgement to help understand, reconnect, and find the strengths and power already within.

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.
