I have witnessed the transition from parent’s feelings of exhaustion and defeat to lightheartedness, hope, pride, and a sense of confidence.
Your child is struggling and you’re not sure how to help. You’ve tried talking to them hundreds of times but it isn’t working. It’s so hard to stay consistent when there are so many different things going on. You feel frustrated and exhausted from the chaos. You worry about your child at school, and then you’re overwhelmed with parenthood when they come home. Sometimes you nag too much, and start to yell, then you feel guilty. Morning and bedtime routines seem impossible, the kids are arguing and tantrumming, and you're drained. If you’d like to manage parenthood with ease, it is time to try something new. Let’s work together.

I provide counseling to clients that are interested in increasing both harmony and stability in their lives. Through the supportive space of a session, clients have an opportunity to awaken to parts of themselves not previously aware of.

Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest decisions to make for yourself. Maybe you are used to putting everyone else's need before your own. I'm glad that you have made it this far. Maybe you are struggling with over thinking, constant worry, or feel overwhelmed and would like to feel more at peace. Maybe you feel shut down and detached from your own emotions and would like to feel more present. I have been working in the Behavioral Health field for over 20 years and have seen the healing benefits of therapy and encourage you to take that first step in showing up for yourself.

Changes cannot be made until we understand our baggage, why it gets us triggered, and how to deal with it positively within your relationship. I love helping individuals identify and understand the pieces of their puzzles.

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.
