Parent-Focused Therapy

So much of parenting happens behind closed doors. Maybe you are doing 'all the right things' but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about how to best support your child. Maybe you find yourself responding in ways that surprise or unsettle you. 

Parenting is not about being perfect—wait while I shout that from the rooftops—it’s about building a relationship. Most of that relationship involves rupture: all the times we don’t get it right or miss each other’s cues, in big ways and small. Parenting is inherently messy, and much of it is about showing our children how to repair, navigate feelings, and find moments of genuine connection with others. In our work together, I offer a space to reflect, reset, and explore new ways of relating that honor both your values and your child’s needs.

Telehealth sessions are offered using a  HIPAA-compliant portal for parents and caregivers seeking support around the emotional challenges of parenting, family dynamics, and early childhood development. These sessions are tailored to help you better understand your child,  regulate your own stress,  and build a more connected and confident parenting experience — even during challenging times.

Who This Is For

Telehealth therapy may be a good fit if you are:

• Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally activated in your parenting

• Asking yourself, "Is this normal? Am I messing this up?  Why does this feel so hard?"

• Experiencing postpartum or parenting-related depression, anxiety, or grief

• Seeking a more reflective, mindful approach to caregiving

• Looking for a trauma-informed therapist who understands early development and parent-child dynamics
