I specialize in supporting individuals facing anxiety, depression, and the many emotional challenges that come with pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting.
Does it feel like everyone else is "getting" parenthood while you are just barely hanging on? Maybe you are struggling with postpartum anxiety that keeps your mind racing, or postpartum depression that makes it hard to even get out of bed. Perhaps the stress of a new baby is pulling you and your partner apart, leaving you feeling lonely and exhausted. If you are grieving a miscarriage or facing the long, hard road of infertility, you might feel like you’re drowning in emotions that no one else understands.

Do any of these sound familiar? You overthink everything, constantly analyze yourself, or find yourself trying to think your way out of anxiety. You may understand your patterns intellectually but still struggle to feel connected to your emotions or body. Maybe you have a hard time identifying what you’re feeling, trusting your decisions, or knowing what you truly need. If you often feel like you’re living from your neck up, you’re exactly the kind of person I love working with.

With over a decade of experience as a school social worker I also have a particular interest in supporting parents, especially those with challenging or atypical children.

I am an LCSW providing both individual and family therapy. I work primarily with preschool-aged and school aged children, teens, and families. I utilize play and art in my sessions, but I also help my clients to develop and practice new skills where appropriate.

I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and caretaker alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.

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.
