I know anxiety in and out, including how it plays into depression, parenting and relationships and being an entrepreneur.
If you are smart and successful and maybe even feel like you should know how to stop feeling anxious on your own, but it just isn't working, then Im your person. It is hard to keep going, hoping it will just get better. Trying everything you think should help and it doesn't is exhausting and a waste of time. There is no substitute for talking with a well informed therapist that you really connect with. I've decades of experience helping people master their anxiety and feeling more comfortable in their lives. I'm easy to talk to and I can help you feel free of the weight of anxiety.

Parents who work with a therapist are able to better handle the challenges of parenting as well as make good parenting decisions.
Parenting, especially in the midst of our ever changing, fast moving culture, comes with many joys and challenges. Our expectations of parenthood often do not match our reality and this can leave caregivers with feelings of anxiety, stress, isolation, inadequacy and loneliness. Having a place to explore those feelings without judgement is what makes therapy so powerful. I am here to help you navigate parenting in a supportive non-judgmental space. Book a free 20 minute phone consultation to learn how we could work together.

You deserve to feel joy in your parenting journey.
Navigating the waters of fertility challenges, pregnancy, birth, and being a new parent can be hard. Navigating the aftermath of past traumas in your body and nervous system can be isolating, exhausting, and soul-crushing. And sometimes those landscapes are one and the same. Past traumas resurface during fertility treatment, pregnancy or postpartum. Or new ones emerge with a traumatic birth or with feeling overwhelmed by parenting. But you’re not alone in this journey. I offer somatic psychotherapy for mothers, families and others who are looking for a whole person approach for resolving life's struggles.

Is your kiddo lacking confidence, overwhelmed by their emotions, yet you know deep inside there is a magical human just waiting to be discovered? I work with children who are highly intellectual, empathic, and feeling beings who oftentimes have been targeted by schools, peers, and teachers as being the "problem." The truth is they are not the problem and you know this, but yet their everyday functioning is being hindered. Getting to school or having play dates often seems like more of a challenge for you than the other families you know.

I see clients who are dealing with trauma, although it's not always obvious that past experiences are running the show. Many of my clients struggle with perfectionism, addiction, boundaries, people-pleasing, self-worth, and feeling stuck and unsatisfied with life. I am open and affirming to all identities and bodies.

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.
