In addition to using my training in Marriage and Family Therapy to work with couples and families in conflict or transition, I also passionately provide play therapy for children 2-10 and parent-coaching.
We humans are programmed for love and attachment. When our relationships with our partners, children, or others are in conflict or crisis, it can have negative effects on all pieces of our lives. I believe in the power of strong families and will work with you to strengthen your marriage or help you build positive attachments to your children. I'd be honored to help you build a more rewarding and fulfilling family. I'd also love to work individually on personal issues. Self-growth and healthy relationships often lead to happier lives and I am here to help you reach YOUR goals!

As a parent, if our child is showing behavioral or emotional signs that he or she is struggling, we struggle too. I am here to help both you and your child. Play therapy is a powerful way to help your child grow and heal. Sometimes, you as a parent need the support to journey with your child through a healing process. My approach allows a child to experience significant shifts in their behaviors and in their feelings about themselves and the world around them. Going through this process together, parent, therapist and child work together and in doing so, you and I together grow in our understanding of your child.

I am a veteran of the Air Force and a parent.
The most difficult part of counseling is asking for and admitting that we need help. Sometimes we lack the vocabulary necessary to identify what is wrong, sometimes we feel overwhelmed by stress and struggle, or perhaps we feel invisible and unheard or silenced. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you face these types of difficulties, to help provide clarity in the confusion, comfort in the trouble.

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.
