Empowering Families Counseling
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, Certified Parent Child Interaction Therapist (PCIT), Certified Perinatal Mental Health
I’m passionate about helping parents recognize their strengths and feel confident in the way they show up for their children. Parenting can feel overwhelming—especially when you're navigating challenging behaviors, anxiety, or the emotional ups and downs of everyday life. Many of the parents I work with come in feeling stuck in cycles of guilt, frustration, and self-doubt.
Together, we shift that.
I help parents move from feeling out of control to feeling calm, clear, and empowered. Through practical, real-time strategies, you’ll learn how to respond to your child’s behavior with confidence, set healthy limits without constant battles, and build a stronger, more connected relationship with your child.
It is possible to enjoy your time with your child while guiding them toward positive behavior and emotional resilience—and to feel secure and grounded in your parenting along the way.
If you’re ready to feel more confident, supported, and in control of your parenting, I’d love to help you get there.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, MACP LPCC LMFT
I can make this very easy for you - unless you’re looking for a specific technique the only way to tell if your therapist is a good fit is by being in a relationship with them. This can be virtual or in person, but we’ve known for a long time that the primary determining factor in successful therapy is the alliance. While a resume and creds may be a starting point, I think you’ll find it’s rarely a deciding factor.
-
For therapy to "work" you have to be vulnerable. To be vulnerable you need to feel safe. To feel safe you need to trust. This is the first layer of a deep, intimate, successful relationship that I model. Some people have never experienced this before - the idea that you can be heard, truly and deeply and not be judged, blamed or put in a box.
Walk with me - you're not alone in this.

Christina Duncan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What makes my therapy practice stand out is my commitment to truly meeting each client where they are, with authenticity, compassion, and respect for their unique experiences. I take a neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based approach that focuses not on “fixing” clients, but on understanding and empowering them. I prioritize building a genuine, trusting relationship, creating a space where clients feel safe to be themselves without judgment. By blending evidence-based strategies with flexibility and warmth, I help clients develop practical tools while also fostering self-acceptance, confidence, and meaningful personal growth.
