When Parenting Feels Harder Than You Expected

So many parents I meet carry heavy guilt and shame, wondering if they’re failing. Here’s the truth: you are not a bad parent. You’re a parent having a hard time, and you deserve support too.

Whether you’re navigating attachment struggles after adoption, caring for a child with a trauma history, or simply feeling drained by the “big behaviors,” therapy can give you the space, tools, and hope you’ve been searching for. If you’re looking for a therapist who welcome both you and your child as you are (meaning I will not be surprised by their behavior), we may be a good fit!

Hope for Your Child. Relief for You. 

With the right support, your child can:

• Learn safe ways to express big feelings.

• Heal from painful experiences and begin to trust again.

• Build stronger connections with you and others.

• Feel seen, supported, and safe to bloom.

And you, as a parent, can:

• Feel more confident and grounded in the messy and chaotic moments

• Replace shame with compassion , for yourself and your child.

• Learn strategies that actually work for your family.

• Experience connection with your child in real, meaningful ways again.

Specialized Therapy for Trauma and Adoption-Related Challenges

I specialize in working with:

• Children and teens who have experienced trauma

• Foster and adoptive families navigating attachment challenges

• Parents who feel frustrated, burned out, or unsure how to support their child

• Kids with big behaviors that make family life feel overwhelming

Therapy with me is playful, relational, and rooted in evidence-based practices that center connection and healing.
