I am currently accepting adolescent and adult clients and particularly enjoy working in the areas of women's health and postpartum concerns, parenting, trauma recovery, grief, personality and mood disorders, and with teens on the autism spectrum.
As a social worker, I believe in treating the "whole person". That is, taking a look at how connections between all aspects of one's life play into wellness. I believe in the potential of all individuals to grow and learn and enjoy walking with my clients through the journey of personal improvement. In my career, I have experience in the field of medical social work, intensive in-home treatment for individuals with severe persistent mental illness, and in private practice with adolescents and adults.

In a world where we are expected to look, speak and act a certain way, we often lose our truest self. When this happens, the pressure to perform can feel overwhelming and so you look to others for approval. You might have even formed some unhealthy habits to cope with your feelings. The cycle is endless and the stress of being an adult, parent, teen or athlete is wearing you down. You know there is more to life and are ready for change.

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.
