I am passionate about supporting parents of neurodivergent children and complex family dynamics.
You've carried the stress for years, you don't have to carry it alone anymore. I know healing does not happen through judgement, it happens through connection. There's no rushing -just a steady partnership as you process, heal and reclaim your sense of self. Healing does not always have to feel heavy.

You are exhausted but you cannot explain why. Nothing is obviously wrong. There is no crisis, no major life event, just this relentless feeling of being overwhelmed, disconnected, and depleted. You are snapping at the people you love. You lie awake at night running lists in your head. The version of yourself you used to be feels very far away.
You do not need more advice. You need someone who actually gets it.

Hey, life sucks sometimes. When life starts to suck a lot, that's when it's not ok. Therapy is a connection between two, equal people: we meet, and together, we figure out what's not working (& stop it) and what IS working (& do more of it), and what skills we can build to help. What this looks like? I ask a lot of questions. Sometimes I drink coffee. Sometimes I tell bad jokes. Sometimes you cry. Sometimes we laugh until our stomachs hurt. Sometimes I just listen. Sometimes I shit talk people who hurt you. Sometimes I teach you stuff. Sometimes we build new life skills. No matter what, I’ll always be real with you.

This could include feeling better, improving your relationships, enhancing your parenting skills, coping with grief and loss, overcoming past trauma, or addressing obstacles that are adversely affecting your mental health.
I offer EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and Brainspotting to help overcome the effects of trauma. If you are interested in exploring mind-body connections, I utilize trauma-sensitive yoga. In some circumstances I use DBT (dialectical behaviour therapy) to provide coping tools to manage the stress and challenges in your life.

Our early wounds shape how we love, parent, and see ourselves.
You’ve worked hard to hold it together; pushing through, overthinking, and showing up for others. Yet childhood wounds of neglect, misattunement, or abuse may still weigh you down. Many clients I see have tried therapy that focused only on “commission” trauma, the overt acts of harm, while the quieter “omission” trauma of neglect or misattunement still lives in the nervous system. These patterns, often invisible, need a neurobiological approach that heals at the survival brain level, going beyond talk-only therapy.

My passion is helping couples heal from betrayal and helping parents build stronger connections with their teens.
As your guide, I create a safe and supportive place for you to explore what's holding you back. My approach is built on proven models like Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and Brainspotting to help process trauma. At times, I may be straightforward, and at others, a listening ear, but you will always be treated with empathy and compassion.

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.
