Clear communication and purposeful living become even more important when you become a parent. Working with a therapist during your parenting journey can help you gain clarity and balance. I help clients cope with the stress of parenting, explore parenting styles and learn how to better themselves as individuals, partners and parents.

I provide a space to identify stressors in your life, to learn coping skills and ways to foster balance and peace. During therapy sessions, you’ll learn strategies that will help you as an individual and skills that will help you as a parent. You’ll discover ways to release stress and build a meaningful family life.

How therapy helps with parenting:

• Emotion management
• Stress management
• Parenting skills
• Communication techniques
• Coping techniques

Co-parenting requires an even higher level of communication, coordination and cooperation on the part of both parties in the relationship. As co-parents, it’s important to realize your relationship impacts your child. If you cooperate and communicate clearly, you can create a relationship that fosters respect and to be able to establish a natural flow of life for your child. As a therapist, I can help you learn techniques for smooth communication and friendly interaction between co-parents.

Signs you could benefit from therapy as a parent:

• Feeling overwhelmed with everyday tasks
• Unable to cope with stress
• Feeling lost, listless or uninterested in life
• Social disengagement
• Agitation sadness and hopelessness
• Communication breakdown

Sometimes you just need a sounding board to explore parenting decisions. Sometimes you need someone to help you establish routine and direction for your family. Sometimes you need someone to tell you that you’re doing enough. Sometimes you just need someone to listen to you as you vent. As a therapist, I provide a fresh perspective and access to coping skills so you can feel relief and be your best self as a parent. I can be the person who holds space for your needs while you care for the dependents in your life.
