This is what you thought therapy was supposed to be like. I have nearly 30 years’ experience in dozens of settings and several states, but your story will always be unique to me. I specialize in child/ parent relationships, anxiety and depression, substance abuse, trauma work, self harm behaviors, and I have training in CBT and DBT. More recently, I was fully trained in EMDR, and am a Level 2 EMDR practitioner, and am working toward full certification. I have already seen the significant impact that EMDR can have for so many of my clients.

Feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed, angry, and confused means we’re human; these are emotions we all experience occasionally. But if "occasionally", has become "frequently", it's time to get relief. Finding a therapist who will really hear you, may be your first step to addressing relationship issues, depression, anxiety, over-eating, even parenting problems. My style is honest, supportive and direct. A therapist's job is not to give advice, but to create a safe, non-judgemental place where you can figure out what you need to do. When change seems impossible, therapy provides hope for something different.

Do you ever feel stuck, but you can’t quite figure out why? You’re trying to do everything right, but for some reason, you just feel “off.” You’ve felt this way for a long time but can’t seem to shake it off to move forward. You try to stay present, but you get swept away by your mind and feel stuck in a loop. As important as it is to focus on the present, you cannot ignore your past. When you have felt stuck for a while, it’s important to go back and look at the roots of why you’re suffering. The hurt you experienced as a child does not just go away because you’re older. It still impacts you today in ways you don’t even realize.

I also taught students how to help individuals dealing with stress, anxiety and/or depression related to medical conditions.

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.
