When Parenting Feels Overwhelming, Heavy, or Harder Than It “Should” Be

Parents often arrive here carrying more than anyone can see: overwhelm, shame, emotional reactivity, burnout, and the fear of repeating patterns from their own childhoods.

you might be juggling:

  • Feeling overstimulated, exhausted, or emotionally disconnected

  • Reacting in ways that don’t reflect who you want to be

  • Snapping, shutting down, or feeling flooded in the moment

  • Carrying the weight of trauma you thought you’d worked through

  • Guilt, self-criticism, or a constant sense of falling short

  • Postpartum stress, birth trauma, or emotional overload

  • Feeling pulled in every direction

You’re doing your best. And you don’t have to do it alone.

What you want for your kids,
you deserve for yourself

Parent Support Therapy to Help You Feel More Grounded, Regulated, and Connected

Parent Support Therapy is for moms, dads, and caregivers who want to parent with more presence, patience, and connection.

You’ll gain language, awareness, and space around your emotional triggers, but more importantly, you’ll build the capacity to respond differently.

Using Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) and other trauma-healing methods, we work at the level where stress, overwhelm, and old emotional responses are stored so that change becomes possible not just in your mind, but in your nervous system.

My Trauma-Informed Approaches

I use several evidence-based modalities to help parents heal emotionally, neurologically, and relationally. Browse the toolkit to learn how these methods support lasting change.

My Therapist Toolkit
Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)
Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)

DBR is a gentle, neuroscience-informed trauma therapy that works with the brainstem-level shock and attachment wounds that shape emotional and physiological reactions. It allows healing to happen at the level where trauma is stored, without needing to retell or relive the experience.

EMDR & Parts-Informed Therapy
EMDR & Parts-Informed Therapy

EMDR is an evidence-based trauma therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing experiences that remain stuck in the nervous system. Through guided bilateral stimulation, EMDR supports the integration of traumatic memories so they lose their emotional intensity and no longer drive present-day reactions.

Grief & IADC Therapy
Grief & IADC Therapy

Induced After Death Communication (IADC) is a specialized grief therapy that supports emotional processing and relief from traumatic grief. It can help clients reconnect with calm, meaning, and inner steadiness after loss.

Emotion-Focused Therapy

These methods help clients explore their emotional experiences with compassion, identify conflicting internal parts, and understand the underlying needs driving their reactions. They support emotional clarity, self-awareness, and compassionate inner connection.

Trauma-Informed, Nervous-System-Based Therapy
Trauma-Informed, Nervous-System-Based Therapy

This approach focuses on recognizing dysregulation, understanding stress responses, and helping the nervous system return to safety and balance. It helps clients understand why certain reactions feel automatic and how to create steadier, more regulated patterns.

Attachment-Focused Therapy
Attachment-Focused Therapy

This approach explores how early relational experiences shape emotional patterns, triggers, and relationship dynamics. By understanding your attachment needs and histories, therapy supports secure, grounded connection with yourself and others.

Parent Support Therapy FAQs

Answering a few common questions about how I work and what you can expect.

  • Therapy can help with a wide range of parenting challenges, including:

    • Parenting Anxiety & Overwhelm – Managing stress, guilt, and the never-ending mental load.

    • Perfectionism & Self-Doubt – Letting go of unrealistic expectations and embracing what works for you.

    • Emotional Regulation for Parents – Learning how to stay calm and present when emotions run high.

    • Parent-Child Communication – Navigating tantrums, outbursts, and tough conversations with confidence.

    • Life Transitions & Parenthood Adjustments – Whether you're a new parent, co-parenting, or adjusting to an empty nest, change can be hard.

    • Balancing Parenthood & Mental Health – Finding time for yourself without guilt.

  • There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting, and the same goes for therapy. Sessions may include:

    • Open conversations in a judgment-free space to reflect on challenges.

    • Practical strategies for managing stress, setting boundaries, and improving communication.

    • Tools for emotional regulation, so you can respond instead of react.

    • Support tailored to your unique family situation, whether you're a single parent, co-parenting, or balancing multiple roles.

  • Not at all! Therapy isn’t just for moments of crisis—it can be a space for growth, self-reflection, and support at any stage of parenting. Whether you’re feeling burnt out, uncertain, or simply looking for guidance, therapy can help you navigate parenthood with more confidence and clarity.

  • You spend so much time caring for your child—who’s taking care of you? Therapy helps parents:

    • Understand the importance of self-care without guilt

    • Set healthy boundaries in relationships

    • Manage stress and overwhelm
