Therapy for parents
I help you sort through your personal history and current parent life, allowing you to be more fully present for yourself and your child.
Support tailored to your needs
My approach is catered to your needs and what you experiencing as a parent right now.
What brings you to therapy is a focus. I also acknowledge that our early experiences affect how we parent. We may focus on those experiences directly and/or keep them in mind as a minor theme.
Who I work with
I resonate most with parents who come from difficult childhoods with experiences of trauma and loss. These issues and experiences often lead to worries about repeating our families' mistakes and not being good enough parents.
I am able to help you sort through the past and see how it emerges in the present, opening room to make parenting decisions from a grounded, calm place.
Parents in conflict
I have experience working with parents who are no longer partnered with each other and disagree about how to raise their children, where communication has broken down or is so acrimonious that collaborating on parenting seems impossible.
Together we work to make your communication more productive. It is important that all parents are on board for this delicate and challenging process.
How therapy works
My approach to therapy is relational, attachment-based, and rooted in making sense out of what may be operating under the surface.
In our initial sessions, I will gather information about both your current life, focusing on your experiences as a parent, and your history. From there, our sessions will focus on present issues and what may be influencing them. We will identify what you like to change and set a course for treatment.
