In 1-1 therapy sessions, I help busy parents and helping professionals heal from burnout and start prioritizing their own needs, so they can lead a less overwhelmed, and more fulfilling life.

We do this by slowing down, tuning into the body and emotions, learning to self-soothe, acknowledging the impacts of systemic and cultural problems, and - ultimately - working through unresolved grief and trauma.

Non-biological parents can experience unique challenges that are not always understood by those around them. Sometimes therapy can help you sort through these challenges
If you are a parent with ADHD and/or Autism, you might feel like you don’t exactly fit into the expectations of what a typical parent “should” be. Do your child’s everyday needs sometimes exacerbate your own? Lost hope of ever feeling confident or at peace in your role as a parent? Sometimes it can help to explore what is coming up for you in therapy, so you can feel more comfortable acknowledging and meeting your own needs, and embrace the special gift of a parent that you are.
Unfortunately, it is incredibly easy to burn out when you’re working in a profession that requires you to be constantly tending to other people’s needs. Taking time for yourself can cause feelings of guilt, or you may simply feel that finding time to take care of yourself is unachievable. If this is the case, therapy might help you explore and challenge these experiences.
