Therapy for Moms and Parents
You do it all for them. It’s time to take care of you.
Parenting isn’t easy. I recognize how complex and nuanced parenting can be. I believe that is important that parents have good support and information.
When you have children, it is normal to reflect on your own childhood. Perhaps you realized that you would like to do things differently with your children than your parents did with you. Or maybe you’re confused why your children aren’t responding to your parenting in the way that you would like them to. Maybe your home feels like everyone is walking on eggshells, screen time is taking over, and conflict is popping up. Perhaps it feels like parenting has not been the experience you were hoping for. This can feel lonely and isolating, and I’m here to help.
I provide therapy for parents seeking healthy ways to relate to and communicate with their partners and children. I use an emotionally focused lens, attachment theory, and a person-centered model in my work. I will help you build healthy relationships with your children, reduce arguments and conflict, and navigate the ever-changing parent-child relationship.
Therapy For Every Step of the Parenting Journey

Parents-To-Be and New Parents
It’s easy to lose yourself in parenting. Children are all consuming and we live in a society that pressures parents, moms in particular, to be everything for everybody. If I could give all moms one gift, it would be the gift of therapy (and a nap). Therapy is a great place for you to reconnect with yourself after children. You’re more than just someone’s mom. You have talents, interests, and things about you that are interesting and unique. If it feels like it’s been a long time since you’ve connected with that side of yourself, I can help you reconnect to those pieces that have fell to the wayside.

Parent Support for Managing Social Media and Screen Time
Many parents feel stuck in constant battles over screens—struggling with transitions, bedtime conflicts, endless bargaining, and feeling disconnected from their children. Screens often become a tool for getting through the day, leaving families feeling frustrated and out of control.
It doesn't have to be this way. Together, we can create a home environment built on connection, healthy boundaries, and emotional regulation. I'll help you understand the role screens play in your family, develop strategies that reduce conflict, and support healthy technology habits. Since screens and social media are here to stay, learning to use them in balanced ways is an important life skill.

Intergenerational Parenting Concerns
When asked, many parents will say that they had a great childhood. Upon exploring their childhood a little deeper, most will say that they do not want to parent their children in the same way that they were parented. Both of these things can be true. We can have appreciation for the good parents of our childhood and realize that we want to give our children something different. My role as a therapist is to help you understand how your childhood years, good or bad, impacted the way that you interact in the world and with those around you, and how you can create the healthy, happy, and positive childhood you want for your children.

When You've Lost Yourself in Parenthood
It’s easy to lose yourself in parenting. Children are all consuming and we live in a society that pressures parents, moms in particular, to be everything for everybody. If I could give all parents one gift, it would be the gift of therapy (and a nap). Therapy is a great place for you to reconnect with yourself after children. You’re more than just someone’s mom or dad. You have talents, interests, and things about you that are interesting and unique. If it feels like it’s been a long time since you’ve connected with that side of yourself, I can help you reconnect to those pieces that seem out of reach.

ADHD Parenting Support
Parenting a child with ADHD can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting. Therapy for ADHD parenting can help you understand how your child’s brain works while building practical strategies that improve your daily family life. Together, we will work on understanding the role of emotional regulation and how it impacts the parent child relationship. Children with ADHD struggle with emotional regulation, so having a parent who can manage their own emotions when dysregulated is key to helping them stay calm. We will also work on developing and implementing executive functioning skills to find relief from daily routine struggles, power battles, and behavior issues.
