Counselling can also help you manage the stress of parenting in ways that focus on the skills and resources you are already using to better identify your needs and the needs of your child.
I strive to create a therapeutic environment focused on collaboration, respect, safety, and trust. It is a big step to share your story with a counsellor and I honour that by ensuring the appointments are non-judgmental, fun, client-led, and focused on building upon the strengths and resilience that each client already possesses. Adults, teens, and children always do their best when they can but we can often find ourselves in patterns that may not be meeting our current needs. Through counselling, we can acknowledge our needs and discover new language, tools, and patterns to meet these needs in more functional ways.

Through a combination of formal education in counselling and my life experiences developing my own mental fitness, I bring a genuine understanding to the difficulties that come with relationships, parenting, moving past traumatic events, and how it can feel impossible to make the changes needed for improvement.
“I… need… help…” can be three of the hardest words to say, and It's no secret that life throws a seemingly endless supply of challenges at us until we are so overwhelmed that, before we know it, we endure hardships navigating our relationship with ourselves and those that we care for and love.

When working with children, I meet with the parent(s)/guardian(s) first, after which you decide if I would be a good fit for your child.
I offer a non judgmental environment where people can be truly themselves. I have much lived experience which enables me to be genuinely compassionate and empathic. I am trained in EMDR as well as Somatic Experiencing therapies. These two modalities have proven to be very effective when working with grief and/or trauma.

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.
