Parenting Therapists in Seattle, WA

If you are looking for ways to support yourself, your child, your teen, your relationship, or your family, with anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, parenting , loss, or life transitions, I am a child, couples and family therapist who would be honored to help. I work with children and their families using Child Centered Play Therapy, and with teens, women in transition, parents and caregivers using several different modalities.

The focus of my private practice is on parents who need support navigating the demands of parenting . These challenges can be related to a number of factors including parent mental health, a child with more challenging behaviors, difficulties between parents, and/or navigating the multiple daily demands parents experience.

I work with parents and caregivers who are motivated to improve relationships and restore harmony to their lives. Do you wish your kid(s) would just cooperate? Are you tired of yelling, using bribery and/or punishment? Perhaps you've tried one or more of the popular parenting approaches, but without lasting success. Parenting children and adolescents is hard work, but it can also be fun and rewarding. I help parents who love their children, to like their children.

How you take care of yourself matters and how you treat yourself matters. It’s okay to create some space for yourself. Actually, it’s absolutely necessary.
