Parenting can feel overwhelming and lonely, and you may be longing for understanding, support, calm, and a stronger sense of connection with yourself and those you love.
Therapy with me is a space to explore what’s beneath the surface and be met with care. I use an integrative, trauma-sensitive approach drawing from somatic and trauma therapies (like EMDR), IFS/parts work, narrative techniques, and ACT. Together, we’ll tend to your nervous system, process what feels stuck, and move toward what matters most to you.

Parenting is difficult at the best of times.
The way you parent has not caused your child's struggles. It can, however, help lead them through their challenges. I will not ask you to do more; I understand the exhaustion and burnout of trying to hold everyone together. Focusing on small, manageable shifts can make a world of difference for everyone involved. We'll figure out together where to start.

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.
