Welcome to Beacon Psychological Services
Online Psychotherapy
Are irritability, worry, anger, sadness, or emotional ups and downs getting in your way of enjoying life? At times, past relationships or past events can prevent us from living in the present. Difficult emotional reactions or uncontrollable worries interfere with our ability to work, be in relationships, take care of responsibilities, and parent. You can find peace. Therapy provides a safe and caring setting for you to work through these issues and reach resolution. Together we will develop your strengths so you can move forward with calm and confidence in the face of stress.
Services Offered
Free Phone Consultation
Call today for a free 15 minute phone consultation. Fit with your therapist is important. A simple phone call can give you a sense of if you would like to work together. I can answer your questions and help you figure out what service might be best for you.
Online Therapy
I offer individual therapy, entirely online. I am passionate about working with women, especially mothers. I specialize in pregnancy, postpartum, birth trauma, and perinatal mood and anxiety issues. I stay current with research and strive to provide the highest quality care possible. If you’ve tried therapy before and feel like you didn’t make progress or keep circling back to the same issues, I’d love to help you break that cycle. Relief is possible and I would love to help you get there.
Parenting Support
Parent coaching focuses on supporting either your child or your relationship with your child. Parent coaching can be even more effective than individual child behavior therapy. There is no one-size fits all parenting solution. My primary focus is on you and your relationship with your child(ren). You will make decisions that enhance that relationship. Together we will make a plan that brings out your strengths as a parent and fits your family’s needs, values, and goals.
Rather than feeling chronically chaotic, imagine feeling confidently calm as you parent through stress with purpose and joy.
Clinical Supervision
I provide clinical supervision to post-graduate psychologists or counselors. I also offer clinical consultation to other mental health or medical professionals. I hope by sharing my knowledge that we can provide better treatment for our clients and help advance the awareness of maternal mental health.
Be the parent you always hoped you could be.
Parent in the present rather than parenting like your past.
