sing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I work with parents to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as feelings of guilt or frustration. We explore ways to build resilience, improve communication, and establish healthy boundaries, empowering parents to make confident decisions and create a fulfilling family life. My goal is to help you feel more grounded and connected while navigating the endless demands of parenting.

Anders Greenwood
Psychologist, Psy.D, Ph.D.
I enjoy helping clients accept and like themselves, organize around strengths, achieve greater emotional presence, think clearly, and let go of shame, guilt and old habits of emotional survival. I believe therapy should lead to better decisions, as well as improved quality of life and relationships.

Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Parenting can activate some of our deepest hopes—and our deepest triggers. I support parents who want to respond to their children with greater calm, connection, and confidence. Using attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and developmental models, we explore how your own early experiences may shape present parenting patterns.
Together, we work with the parts of you that feel overwhelmed, reactive, guilty, or unsure, while strengthening your capacity for steady, attuned leadership. The goal is not perfection, but secure attachment—helping your child feel safe, seen, and supported while you feel grounded and empowered.

Chloe Lankshear
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, Ed/S, LMFT
As a parent myself, I know that parenting is not always easy and most parents have moments when they are unfortunately not the parents they would ideally like to be. The key is to learn from those times, work out what led to them and figure out a better way forward. If we work together on parenting, I will do a comprehensive assessment to get to know you, your background story and goals so I have all of the relevant information. Then, I put together a draft treatment plan, with input from you, so the details will depend on the person. I'm non-judgmental and just focussed on helping you get to where you want to be in your parenting. You obviously can't control your children, but you can control the decisions and actions you take as a parent. I hope to help you to get to a place where you feel comfortable and good about yourself as a parent.

Parenting can be one of the most rewarding yet challenging roles in life. Whether you are navigating the ups and downs of raising young children, managing the complexities of teen years, or adjusting to your relationship with adult children, it is natural to feel overwhelmed or uncertain at times.
As an empathetic counselor, I offer a supportive space to help you develop effective communication skills, set healthy boundaries, and build stronger connections with your children at every stage of life. Together, we can explore strategies to manage stress, foster positive relationships, and nurture your family’s well-being.
If you are seeking guidance to feel more confident and empowered in your parenting journey, please reach out.

David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
While I do not have specialized training in this subject, I am a parent myself and understand the challenges of balancing personal needs, romantic needs, and showing up for your children. Parenting can also bring up memories or even trauma from our own childhood that hasn't been fully processed. Through understanding your own childhood, you can ensure you break any cycles of patterns so it does not interfere with your parenting moving forward.
