Relationships are a constant in our lives, and the relationship with oneself is central to them all. Relationship dissatisfaction and a desire for positive change is what leads people to my office. I frequently work with individuals and couples who are separating, and/or divorcing and are concerned about the well-being of their children in the midst of significant family change. My clients are often high achievers who are interested in navigating relational changes and co-parenting with skill, integrity and mutuality. I welcome the opportunity to support you in creating the future you desire.

I value working with teens and adults in a supportive non-judgmental way. I assist people who may be challenged with shame, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, substance use issues/recovery, communication issues, parent/child relationship difficulties, trauma, lack of self-care, and low self-esteem. Often people are struggling with something in their lives that is out of balance or going through a transition and reinventing themselves. Basically, I help people find their way again. I am a LGBTQ+ affirming, and gender-affirming therapist. I am also a culturally responsive and social justice-oriented therapist.

The Family Connection is a safe, inviting place that helps people to address their own concerns and grow to be the person that they want to be. That person has always been there but is often hidden behind pain and negative self thoughts. I enjoy helping people find what decisions and behaviors have led them to this place of pain and how to make different decisions within their own life, to become more empowered to be the person they have always desired to be.

Therapy is an organic process that gives support and guidance. Our experiences and beliefs about ourselves and the world create emotional holding patterns of behavior. When we face these with compassion for ourselves, we become freer and more peaceful. Self compassion is a key piece of moving into deeper self connection and self acceptance. If this kind of self intimacy interests you, please contact me to begin.

I offer deep therapy based on attachment theory and communication skills development, depending on your needs, to engage you (and/or your partner) in a meaningful and heartfelt exploration of your life support needs. Move past limiting thoughts and behaviors and develop deeper connections. Clients have said that they appreciate my non-judgmental, yet direct approach. My response - "I am in your corner, routing for you". It takes courage but once you embark on this journey you will say, "Why didn't I do this sooner"?

Hello! I am a clinical mental health counseling intern. I practice therapy from a humanistic, person-centered lens. While my first therapists were Cognitive-Behavioral focused, I have grown to appreciate a more adaptive approach. I have an interest in psychodrama, trauma informed therapy, and positive psychology. As a member of the queer community myself, I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, ethical non-monogamy, and kink friendly. Feminist theory heavily influences my therapeutic perspective with regards to the overarching societal and social justice systems that impact all of our daily lives. I hope to one day specialize in sex therapy.

I use art and expressive therapies, cognitive behavioral therapies, mindfulness body based therapies and infant-child-parent psychotherapy.
Healing begins through relationship. Our work together will first be to build a safe and trusting relationship to engage in a deeper process of transformation. All of our experiences, prenatally to the present, have led us to who we are today. Sometimes, we need help figuring out where we’re stuck, what’s getting in the way and how to find our way forward. This can be tricky to navigate by ourselves. Through open and honest exploration of your unique experiences, I will guide you in slowing down while finding a deeper sense of self-awareness and healthier ways to move forward.

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.
