Does your child's anxiety keep YOU up at night and have you walking on eggshells, terrified of triggering their next emotional meltdown? Is your child's defiant behavior leaving you feeling like a complete failure? As a parenting therapist, I've helped hundreds of parents just like you to break free from the cycle of worry and self-doubt, and to reclaim the joy and success possible in parenting. I guide individuals, families, and couples toward finding peace through improved relationships. This is possible through building skill with self-awareness, boundary setting, and assertive communication.

After 25 years in children’s mental health, helping distressed children with complex emotional and behavioral challenges and their exhausted families, I have developed a passion for parent therapy. The skills and strategies I teach are designed to help both the children who struggle with emotional and behavioral problems and their parents achieve success.

As parents of children who struggle with emotional regulation, you are under stress. No situation is beyond hope. My clients leave our sessions with real insight and tools with which to move forward. I believe in building on your strengths and "keeping it positive." Call today for a free consultation.

When working with a child client, I usually start with the parent(s), in order to respectfully understand your child from your point of view and to know what has worked and what hasn't. I present positive parenting tools tailored to your needs and provide coaching in their use. Together, we decide whether, when, and how to bring your child into the sessions. The goal is your child's success.

My approach to therapy emphasizes the importance of listening to your body's wisdom, healing your relationship with yourself, and healing attachment wounds. When treating a child, I often start with the parent, to include you and provide tools to facilitate your child's healing. I always emphasize self-awareness through mindfulness, acceptance, and assertive communication.
