Counseling for parents in Livermore or Greater California Area
Helping You Strengthen Relationships With Those That Matter Most
As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist based in Livermore and serving all of California virtually, I specialize in guiding parents through the tough seasons. If you’re feeling frustrated, drained, or disconnected because your child’s behavior or life stage feels overwhelming—I’m here to help.
We’ll work together to build healthier patterns: setting compassionate boundaries, creating predictable routines, and supporting more positive interactions. My goal is to help you reclaim clarity, confidence, and connection—so you feel more grounded in your parenting and less overwhelmed by the chaos.
Parents Therapy
-
Overwhelm & Stress in Parenting
Feeling stretched too thin by personal, work, and parenting demands? I can help parents throughout California manage overwhelm so you can respond, not just react.
-
Emotional Struggles & Guilt
Shame, guilt, or frustration when parenting doesn’t feel “perfect”—you’re not alone. Therapy for parents offers support when your child resists connection or you feel lost in how to help.
-
Communication Barriers
Difficulty connecting or having heart‑to‑heart conversations with your child? Whether it’s mental health, peer pressure, or school stress, I help California families bridge gaps in understanding and foster trust.
-
Navigating Family Dynamics
Sibling conflict, inconsistent discipline, or co‑parenting challenges are common—but they don’t have to define your home. I support families all over California to develop consistency, compassion, and stronger relationships.
-
Transitions & Parenting Through Change
Milestones like toddlerhood, adolescence, or launching young adults bring unexpected challenges. Serving parents in the Northern and Southern California, I guide you through these changes with tools, insight, and emotional support.

Parenting & Self‑Identity
As a parent, it’s easy to lose sight of who you are under the weight of daily demands and expectations. I support parents in reclaiming their self‑worth and identity—so you feel grounded, recognized, and capable of showing up authentically for your child.
Recognizing Patterns & Triggers
Together we’ll explore recurring family dynamics, stressors, or emotional triggers—like conflict, overwhelm, or parenting fatigue—that may be keeping communication stuck. Understanding these patterns helps you see where change begins.Building Practical, Supportive Tools
Using evidence‑informed techniques (e.g. CBT, emotion regulation, boundary setting, mindful communication), you’ll learn relational skills that transform how family moments feel—to be clearer, calmer, and more connected.Emotional Awareness & Regulation
You’ll develop deeper insight into your own emotional landscape—so overwhelm, frustration, or guilt don’t hijack your responses. This gives you steadier footing when parenting under pressure.Tailored Family Roadmap & Action Plan
No one‑size‑fits‑all approach. We’ll co-create a plan that addresses your family’s specific needs—whether it’s sibling rivalry, boundary shifts, or reconnecting after conflict. This roadmap guides growth, one step at a time.
