Are you feeling overwhelmed, struggling with anxiety, or emotionally burnt-out and finding it impacting your ability to be the parent you know your children deserve? Do you feel exhausted, confused, or frustrated trying to cope with the demands of life and not being able to be there for your children the way you want? Now more than ever parents are feeling uncertain, discouraged, and hopeless about how to best support their children with their emotional and behavioural challenges. I believe there are answers, and no one should go through this challenge alone.

You've heard that parenthood is supposed to be a natural transition, but it doesn't feel that way. You have thoughts about how a good parent wouldn't feel sad or angry like this. You're going through the motions, but you're overwhelmed and overstimulated. You're managing, but it's not joyful like others said - it’s hard. You love your baby, but you miss how easy things were before. It’s confusing. You wonder when it gets easier. You deserve relief. You want to figure out what you need. You want to feel happy. You're ready to find your sense of self again, to find ease and help parenthood feel good for you. I can help you get there.

Have you ever felt alone, disconnected or abandoned? I’ve had those moments too. Growing up amidst parental mental illness came with a lot of challenges but it also gave me compassion and understanding. We needed the support of a caring community of family and friends to help us walk through many difficult times. My lived experiences inspired me to study psychology and human behavior for much of my adult life. This pursuit has provided me with the opportunity to help others so they can feel supported on their journey.

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.
