Individual Therapy for Parents

I work with parents of tweens, teens, and young adults who are navigating a child's emotional or behavioral struggles. Many parents I work with are carrying significant worry, exhaustion, guilt, or uncertainty while trying to remain a stabilizing presence for their family. I also work with parents facing the particular challenges that come when a young adult child returns home.

My approach combines warmth with structure. Using evidence-based treatments such as CBT and DBT-informed strategies, I help parents understand their own emotional responses, strengthen coping skills, and feel more grounded in the face of ongoing stress. Therapy offers a place to slow down, reflect, and focus on your own well-being, not just your role as a caregiver.

Our work often focuses on managing overwhelm, navigating intense emotions, setting boundaries, and responding more effectively during difficult moments at home. Sessions are collaborative and paced to meet you where you are, with an emphasis on building steadiness, clarity, and self-trust over time.

I offer in-person therapy at my office on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and virtually across New York, Connecticut, and Florida.
