Therapy for Parents in Bethesda, MD
You’ve been carrying so much for so long. Let us help you lighten the load.
Does this sound familiar?
You wake up to a child’s needs, rush through your morning routine, navigate work demands all day, check in on aging parents, manage household responsibilities, and fall into bed exhausted—only to do it all again tomorrow.
You’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate this journey by yourself.
How I can help
As a therapist specializing in parental wellness, I understand that you’re juggling countless demands while your own wellbeing falls to the bottom of the priority list. I provide a safe space where busy parents can learn to set healthy boundaries, respond effectively to daily stressors, reduce the burden of parental guilt, and build self-compassion. Together we’ll develop personalized strategies to manage anxiety and create sustainable self-care practices that fit your busy life.
Through our work together using techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, and mindfulness you’ll develop practical tools to transform overwhelming moments to opportunities for growth, quiet anxious thoughts, and reclaim your sense of balance.
Feel more calm + connected.
