Therapy for parents, across Wisconsin.

Before I was a therapist I spent more than ten years teaching in K-12 schools, which means I have spent a lot of hours with kids and a lot of hours with parents of kids. The parents I work with now are not in crisis. They are tired, often quietly resentful, sometimes scared they are doing it wrong, and they want a room where they can be honest about all of that without judgment.

Parenting therapy with me is individual therapy for the parent. We can talk about strategies. We can also talk about what your kid is bringing up in you about your own childhood. Both turn out to matter.

Common topics

What I hear most often:

• Anger at your kid that you do not feel okay saying out loud
• Resentment toward a parenting partner whose load is not the same as yours
• Fear that you are repeating something that was done to you
• Burnout from school-age caregiving, especially with an ADHD or anxious kid
• Adjusting to a new stage (toddler, school-age, teen, young adult, empty nest)
• Coparenting after separation

What to do next

The next step is to schedule the consultation or intake session. You don't need to have it all figured out before we meet; the consult is for figuring out whether the work fits.
