Are you feeling *Stuck* in circumstances, feelings, and patterns of behavior you can't budge? Well, you're not broken -- you just need to learn how to use ALL of your resources. The parts of you that allow and sustain change are in every atom of your body - not just in your head. Allow me to help with WAY more than talk. You really can escape the imprisonment of *Stuck* and get some traction in your life. Yes ... really, you can!

Are you going through a divorce or feeling disconnected from your partner? Maybe you are a single parent and you could use some support.
Life’s ups and downs can be challenging and sometimes leave us feeling alone and misunderstood. You might be feeling stressed or overwhelmed — or longing for meaningful connections. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Sometimes change is expected, and other times it can surprise us.

There is a mind-body connection to the way we feel. When we hold onto pain for long periods, those cells are stored in our energy centers, creating imbalances that may lead to psychological, emotional, and behavioral problems, unresolved trauma reactions, stress, and chronic pain., I want to help people identify the root of their physical, mental, and emotional pain at the most comfortable pace. Carrying unresolved issues and repressed feelings can leave us out of balance or experiencing symptoms of discomfort or dis-ease.

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.
