I aim to support parents in parenting when they feel they have tried everything and do not know what to do next. The parents I work with love their children and want the best for them, and are often burned out from worrying about their children, frequent emotional outbursts, and/or moving mountains to help their children avoid the things that scare them. In our work together, parents learn concrete steps to help reduce their child’s distress and improve the parent-child relationship.  Learn more about me and how I work to see if my approach to therapy sounds like a good fit. 

Common areas of focus for parent therapy include:

• Setting and maintaining reasonable expectations for your child.

• Maintaining consistent limits and consequences with your child.

• Building a meaningful relationship with your child.

For parents primarily concerned about their child’s substance use or other addictive behaviors, I offer CRAFT therapy. 

Following an initial evaluation, I typically see parents for one 60-minute session per week. The length of the therapy relationship will depend on therapeutic goals. I have seen parents anywhere from 12 weeks to several years.
