“Child and Parent Specialist” Modern day parenting has become next to impossible, between busy schedules and environmental stressors, you feel lost and helpless. You find yourself yelling more than you want to, triggered and overwhelmed, you are not the parent you desire to be. Your child is sensitive, easily irritable, unable to regulate, maybe even aggressive. You are not alone. Children do not have the ability to self-regulate until they have experienced co-regulation - but no one taught us how to regulate. That's where I come in - to help regulate your own inner child so that you can show up better for your family.
I combine principles of compassion and empathy with evidence-based CBT and specialized training in attachment. I have years of experience supporting neurodivergent children, both in the home and at school. Parenting support provides practical strategies and tools that allow parents to support their children, with a focus on calming their nervous system.
Positive, meaningful change is created by exploring, and adjusting, emotional regulation strategies, behavioural experiences, and relationship patterns. I aim to support the entire family through focusing on reducing unwanted behaviours and increasing connections between parent and child.

Groups
Mindful Journalling Group for Teens
In Waterloo we are running a drop-in Mindful Journalling Group for Teens and Young Adults! This group will be offered on either Wednesday evening or Thursday afternoon beginning July 16th & 17th. You can pre-register for the dates that work for you as we know that folks will be on holidays and therefore there isn't a weekly commitment to attend. We love that this group will allow for participants to develop the skill of mindfulness, journalling, and self-reflection. Additionally, this is a great opportunity for people to create some connections and get to spend some time outdoors.
