Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Parenting is both deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging. Even the most loving parents can feel overwhelmed, unsure, or discouraged when their child’s needs or behaviors seem difficult to manage. I specialize in helping parents understand the “why” behind their child’s emotions and behaviors, develop effective communication and discipline strategies, and restore a sense of confidence and calm within the family.
My work with parents often focuses on navigating developmental changes, improving parent–child relationships, and managing challenges such as anxiety, defiance, emotional regulation difficulties, and family transitions. For parents raising children with unique emotional or behavioral needs, therapy offers tools for setting appropriate limits while maintaining empathy and connection.
When co-parenting after divorce or separation, I provide structured support to help parents maintain consistency, reduce conflict, and protect children from adult stressors. I also assist foster, adoptive, and blended families as they navigate attachment and identity issues that can surface throughout a child’s development.
Grounded in cognitive-behavioral and family systems approaches, sessions focus on increasing emotional awareness, enhancing communication, and promoting a calmer, more connected family environment. My goal is to help parents feel equipped, supported, and empowered to raise resilient, emotionally secure children—while also caring for themselves in the process.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Grief is a deeply personal experience that unfolds differently for everyone. There is no "right" way to grieve, and healing rarely follows a predictable path. My role is to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can process your loss at your own pace, make sense of the emotions that arise, and gradually find ways to move forward while honoring the significance of what you've lost.

Meghan McGinn
Psychologist, PhD
Sure, you and your partner knew parenting would have its challenges, but you were not quite prepared for how much of your energy it would take and how little you would have left for each other. Your relationship feels rocky in ways you never imagined, you are tired and overstimulated, and the additional mental load (do their clothes still fit? did I fill out that form? which brand of toasted oat cereal will they actually eat?) is soul-crushing. You may feel hesitant to add something else to your to do list, but couple therapy could be a key component of what pulls you out of that state of burnout. You need an experienced couple therapist to help you to feel heard and understood by your partner, to break out of unhelpful communication patterns, and to reclaim some of your time for your needs as an individual and as a couple.
