Parenting can be an incredibly rewarding experience, but it also comes with a unique set of stressors that can lead to mental health challenges. New parents often grapple with sleep deprivation, the pressure to meet their child’s needs, and feelings of isolation that can accompany the demands of caregiving. Balancing personal responsibilities, work, and parenting can create an overwhelming sense of chaos, leading to anxiety, depression, or burnout.

Therapy can provide essential support during these times, offering a confidential space to explore feelings, develop coping strategies, and gain perspective.

If you are a parent who finds themselves feeling constantly overwhelmed, acting in ways you told yourself you never would with your kids, or even dreading coming home from work, you are not alone, and I am here to help. In our work together, we will identify triggers, help you learn to communicate effectively with your partner or your kids and prioritize self-care, ultimately fostering a healthier mindset and improving overall family dynamics.

I have worked with children and caregivers for over a decade, and I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact that mindful parenting strategies and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can have on family dynamics. By integrating mindfulness techniques into our sessions, I empower parents to cultivate present-moment awareness, helping them to respond to their children's needs with patience and understanding rather than reacting impulsively. Through CBT, we explore the thought patterns that may contribute to stress and anxiety, equipping parents with practical tools to challenge negative beliefs and foster healthier communication within the family. My goal is to create a supportive and nurturing environment where parents can gain confidence in their parenting journey, leading to stronger connections with their children and a more harmonious home life.
