I work best with clients who are realistic about trusting the process of psychotherapy, committing to attending until they see their initial concerns relieved, rather than tying themselves to a select number of appointments. It allows an eclectic approach which can lead to real insight and genuine change. Relationships are always part of therapy and I endeavour to make each session a safe and helpful experience. An important part of the process is to become aware of unconscious triggers and, ultimately, to gain control over these experiences, giving yourself the choice to behave in a way that better benefits you.

You might be carrying the weight of stress, anxiety, burnout, chronic illness or struggles with an eating disorder, and despite everything you’ve tried, it still feels like an uphill battle. Maybe you've spent years coping the best way you could, holding yourself to impossible standards, listening to a relentless inner critic. It’s understandable to feel exhausted. Many of the people I work with reach a point where they’re ready for something more profound: not just coping, but healing. Together, we focus on building new ways of living that honour your strength, your story, and your need for lasting change.

If life feels heavy, overwhelming or confusing, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to work it out by yourself. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, worn down by anxiety, self‑doubt, burnout or the pressure to keep everything together. Therapy can be a space to pause, breathe, and gently explore what’s going on beneath the surface. I offer integrative Talk & Art Therapy for 16+, providing a supportive and creative space where you can express yourself in ways that feel right for you. I'm happy to see if we're a good fit and if not I'll help you find a therapist that is.

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.
