Do you ever feel disconnected from your child or unsure of how to help?

Many parents and families seek out therapy when they’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in the same conflicts, or not sure of how to support their child when they’re having big emotions, and feeling disconnected from one another. You might feel like you’re constantly walking on eggshells, having the same arguments over and over, you’re unsure how to best support your kids, or trying your best as a parent while still feeling like you’re falling short. When things feel tense or out of control at home, it can be hard to know where to start.

In my work, I support children, parents, and families in slowing things down and making sense of what’s happening underneath emotional reactions and behavior. I believe real change happens when people feel seen, understood, and emotionally safe. Rather than viewing challenges as something “wrong” with a child or family, I see them as patterns that developed for a reason, often as ways of coping or protecting.

I enjoy working with children and adolescents, as well as parents who want to feel more confident and connected in their role. Many of the families I support are navigating emotional outbursts, anxiety, ADHD, or ongoing conflict at home. Parents often share that they want fewer power struggles, calmer communication, and a better understanding of their child — and themselves to improve and enjoy their relationships. Therapy can be a space to begin creating more supportive ways of relating to one another.
