I will support you in finding the most effective coping strategies whether you are experiencing a traumatic event, major life transition, work stress, partner conflicts, parenting issues, grief/ambiguous loss or other traumatic events.
When we are faced with life challenges, we are often left with negative emotions (e.g. fear, anger, anxiety, depression) and behaviours (e.g. exhaustion, trouble sleeping, change in appetite, disconnection from friends, family, purpose). Therapy provides a safe, collaborative space that allows us to explore and untangle the disorganization, (a necessary aspect of development), and ultimately gain insight, clarity and direction to create the change you wish to see. I ensure safety with clients during uncomfortable times, knowing our challenges are more than a single diagnosis and our solutions are more than one treatment modality.

I genuinely believe that people do well if they can! Everyone wants to succeed and feel capable and confident in their life. Struggles often stem from very real obstacles in the way. A quality assessment can be instrumental in creating a meaningful and effective way forward. I specialize in comprehensive assessments to provide insight into areas of strengths, skill development, advocacy, and support. There is no one right way to approach thinking, learning or experiencing life. I offer parent and school consultation to improve connection and family relationships and help people thrive in all aspects of their life.

I have over a decade of experience working with children, youth and families around various issues including family relationships/conflict, parenting support, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief.
Experiencing challenges in different areas of our lives is a human experience, and some of us find ourselves needing support as we navigate these difficulties. As a clinician, I believe that people are the experts in their own lives and have within them the strength and the capacity to enact change. I see that my role as a therapist is to help empower people to begin making those changes, to write their own life stories, to explore their own values and beliefs about how the world works, and to develop authentic fulfilling relationships.

I am a registered child psychologist specializing in helping toddlers, young children (up to age 12), and their families with common emotional, cognitive, and behavioural difficulties. I provide assessment and treatment tailored to meet the specific needs of each child and family. Because young children depend so heavily on those around them to address their developmental needs and challenges, I collaborate closely with parents. The parent-child relationship often provides the best opportunity for effective intervention. I provide a respectful and caring environment for parents to understand what their child's behaviour is communicating, what their child needs, and how they can meet those needs.

My clients include individuals, couples and families struggling with relationship breakdown, separation/divorce, parent-child problems, employment issues, anxiety, depression or trauma. I have specialized training in mediation, parenting coordination, parenting assessments and EMDR for working with trauma.

What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
