Although my expertise is in eating disorders (trained at the Renfrew Center), I have over the years worked successfully in a variety of settings with adults who suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma (sexual abuse, domestic violence), who are struggling with family conflict or parenting issues, and who are seeking to improve their relationship happiness.
With over 25 years of experience working as a Clinical Psychologist, I have learned that pairing a warm and empathetic environment with asking challenging and thought provoking questions is an effective way to allow people to explore their issues and empower them to make changes.

Yet it is precisely these symptoms we must take the time to listen to as messages communicating something essential and understandable about our suffering, fears, and wishes - the emotional meanings of our personal history. By listening to you closely and carefully, we will explore together thoughts and feelings that were previously unknown to you yet powerfully affect your life. Talking changes the way things look.

Parenting Therapists

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.
