How are you doing?
Does this sound familiar?
You love your family, but there are also times where you feel:
-
Overwhelmed by the demands each day brings
-
Frustrated trying to balance your own needs with those of your children, partner, or career
-
Stressed because your child is struggling and you don’t know what to do
-
Unsure of how to best support everyone's needs
You don't need to do this alone.
I am a Licensed Psychologist in New York State and I specialize in supporting parents in all phases of their journey. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, burnout, or feeling stuck in your role as a parent, I offer a space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported.
Some ways I can help are:
-
Individual Therapy- Therapy for parents who are feeling overwhelmed, stressed or unsure how to best support their child. We might talk about things like how hurtful or tricky elements of your past might be impacting your current relationships with your kids; finding space to nurture your own needs alongside those of your kids; supporting your kids as they are while also processing misconceived ideas of what you thought parenthood would be like; or identifying values and figuring out what is most important in the midst of so many demands and uncertainties.
- Consultation or Coaching- Practical, action-oriented support to help you more effectively meet your kids needs related to issues such as ADHD, anxiety, or behavioral concerns. Examples include parenting challenges like meltdowns, executive functioning support, developmental transitions like adolescence, or finding your way through complicated situations like death, divorce, or other unexpected events. In this work we consider a multitude of factors unique to your child and family including temperament, individual strengths and challenges, developmental phase, family structure, and environmental supports and stressors.
- Workshops or Groups- Educational support for parents who want to find community or better understand topics such as child development, ADHD, anxiety, or parent self-care and well-being. We weren't meant to do this alone. Come together to explore, learn, and build community other parents. I often collaborate with other professionals to provide multidimensional support. Join a preestablished group or gather a group of your favorite parents and reach out to me to add a professional perspective and trusted resources.
My goal is to help you feel less stressed and more at-ease and empowered at home, in your family relationships, and with your life in general.
