I have three children of my own and know the trials of being a parent and supporting children with big feelings.
I am honoured to support people in finding their path to healing. I believe that we have our own capacity to move through difficult times and know that taking this step can be pretty tricky. My approach is gentle and fairly eclectic, I tend to use the modality that best suits the clients needs with an attachment based lens. I tend to focus on play therapy and emotion focused therapies with children as well as utilize some dyad work. With adults I tend to use EMDR, trauma processing, solution focused therapy, person centred and emotion focussed therapy modalities. I offer a free 15 minute consultation to ensure I am the right fit.

I truly understand the frustrations! I am very passionate about working with Momma's, I believe strongly in providing tools/techniques that can support you in you're parenting adventures.
There are all kinds of Mom's in the world - Biological, Adoptive, Foster, Kinship, Single or Blended. No matter what kind of Mom you are, you all want the same thing, to raise healthy, happy children. It takes work to make that happen! You are overloaded and overwhelmed and trying to connect with a child who is struggling/fighting you every step of the way. Don't do it alone! Imagine someone sitting with you, solely focused on you, not judging or telling you what you did wrong, but instead lifting you up, supporting you and standing by your side!

If you are concerned about your child/youth’s anxiety or mood, I have many years of mental health experience that I can offer. If you have an anxious/sensitive personality, or are a perfectionist that worries too much, or find yourself over thinking everything - we may be a great fit. If you simply need a safe place to work towards personal growth, self discovery, work/life balance, or living your best life, I would love to help you on your journey. If you are experiencing fertility setbacks that impact your identity or parenting /family challenges that others just don’t seem to understand, I would invite you to connect with me.

I have extensive training in play therapy and use therapeutic play and parent consultation to address feelings, thoughts and behaviors.
We are all trying our best to get through life and none of us are prepared to cope with all that life can bring. From adults to children, we all need help at some point! My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, accepting, and genuine. Adult clients appreciate my willingness to listen carefully, instill hope for a better future and gently challenge stuckness. My child/teen and caregiver clients appreciate that I provide a safe environment that helps heal hurts, discover strengths, and build or rebuild relationships that lead to greater quality of life.

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.
