I usually work with adolescents and their parents to address the barriers within their relationships that are preventing cohesiveness within the family.
I believe that the parents are the medicine to providing their child with the bright future that they deserve. There is no better vehicle for change than a parent's love for their child. I get to come alongside that parent and help them overcome whatever barriers are preventing them from seeing growth in either their child's life or their own. My focus

Searching for a therapist takes courage! And I appreciate the effort involved in acknowledging the need for support. Maybe your healing from personal and/or intergenerational trauma, struggling with making a decision, impacted by your own or someone else's addiction, or working through expectations of who you're supposed to be. All of us sometimes need extra support for ourselves, our family, or our relationship. My work is to support YOU in understanding your internal experiences and find healing. The symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other issues suck, but they don't have to define your life.

Many experience that journey as compromised by difficult transitions or painful circumstances in their lives, threatening to rob them of their joy.

We provide individual, group, and family sessions to help create awareness and understanding of how to get back to 'Me'. We explore issues and allow clients to choose to heal mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.

Hi! Thanks so much for visiting my profile and considering me for therapy! I have been working with children and families for 30 years, always with a focus on trauma. I believe in meeting my clients where they are at, using strengths based, person centered therapy. I use an eclectic approach in therapy depending on your needs, often using elements from CBT, DBT, solution focused therapy and non-directional play therapy for young children. I believe there is never a one-size-fits-all approach for therapy and instead work to assess what will work best for you.

I am interested in working with someone who wants help. A person who wants to understand themselves better, who wants to change something in their life. I am excited to work with someone who is willing to be vulnerable and honest. The client should feel heard and understood after each session. The client should feel challenged to some degree, but also encouraged that they are doing the work. There should be a goal they are working towards, that we have agreed on together. They should feel a sense of motivation, investment, hope or progress after each session.

Have you ever considered your life as a story? Like any good narrative, our lives have a setting, characters, themes, plot twists, beauty, and brokenness. If you were to start a reading a new book today, I would bet that you wouldn't just open up to the middle chapters, start reading, and expect it all to make sense. Likewise, in order to understand the chapter of life we currently find ourselves in, it is tremendously helpful to look at the story of our lives as a whole, from the beginning to now. As we begin to look at and reflect on our story with curiosity and self-kindness, we can begin to make profound changes in our lives.

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.
