Feeling anxious or depressed can get in the way of your work and personal life. You might have difficulty sleeping, trouble concentrating, low motivation, and suicidal thoughts. You might find yourself crying often, feeling on edge and easily frustrated. You may prefer to be alone and find it exhausting to respond to friends or family. It can feel like a chore to get up in the morning, and life can feel like more than you can manage. Daily tasks can become overwhelming to tackle, and you may feel shame and guilt about it all. Instead, imagine feeling confident, happy, and enjoying life. The right therapy can lead to these goals.

My specialty is the relational stuff — couples stuck in the same fight, parents struggling to reach their kids, people wanting to understand themselves better.
Something brought you here. Maybe you’re exhausted. Maybe you and your partner keep having the same fight. Maybe you just keep reacting in ways that surprise even you.
You don’t have to have it figured out to start.
I work with families, couples, and individuals who are ready to go a little deeper. We slow things down, look at what’s underneath, and build the kind of safety where something can actually shift.
If you’re ready, I’d love to connect.

My first career was in education, where I spent many years supporting students and families with learning, executive functioning, and connection. This experience shaped my understanding of how attachment, family dynamics, and early life experiences influence who we become. In my practice, I help clients explore attachment styles, relationship patterns, and family systems to better understand themselves and the challenges they face. Together, we work toward greater insight, healthier patterns, and meaningful change at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive.

Parenting Counsellors
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.
