Single Parent Counseling

A space where your strength, exhaustion, hope, and humanity are all welcome.

Single parenting is layered, demanding, beautiful, and incredibly heavy at times — often all in the same day. You’re carrying so much, and yet the world often expects you to do it with a smile and without missing a beat.

You deserve support that doesn’t minimize your reality or tell you to “just take a break,” but actually understands the emotional, financial, relational, and logistical load you hold.

Does this sound familiar:

  • “I’m doing everything, and it still doesn’t feel like enough.”

  • “I love my kid(s), but I’m exhausted in a way I can’t explain.”

  • “I don’t have time to fall apart — but I also can’t keep going like this.”

  • You have been at work all day and now have to race to the school for a basketball game, cook dinner when you get home, and help with homework when all you would like is a moment to feel like you can breathe instead of worrying about the next thing that needs to get done.

You might be navigating

  • Parenting without consistent support

  • Co-parenting stress or conflict

  • Decision fatigue

  • Guilt, burnout, or emotional overload

  • Financial pressure + limited time

  • Difficulty finding space for yourself

  • Identity shifts after becoming a parent

  • Parenting while healing your own childhood wounds

My Approach

Support that meets you where you are — not where you “should” be.

Single parents often come into therapy carrying the weight of multiple roles, decisions, and expectations — with very few places where they can set that load down. My approach is person-centered, relational, and EFT-informed, but more importantly, it is shaped around the realities of single parenthood.

In this space:

  • You set the pace — whether you’re juggling work, parenting schedules, or simply running on limited capacity.

  • Your overwhelm and your joy both matter — you don’t have to downplay either one.

  • Your story guides the work — including the parts you never have time to say out loud.

  • There’s room for honesty without judgment — about the exhaustion, the guilt, the relief, the fear, the love… all of it.

  • You don’t have to hold everything together here — this can be the one place you don’t have to be “on.”

We are creating a space where you can breathe, be supported, and reconnect with yourself while still caring for the people who rely on you.

Ready When You Are

Because you deserve support that honors the fullness of your experience—
where you don’t have to have it all together, and the responsibility you carry, the decisions you hold alone, and the care you continue to give even when you’re tired are acknowledged.
