Raising a child may be one of the most rewarding experiences one can have but it is also one of the most challenging and confusing. It is normal for parents to disagree (with their children and their co-parent), to feel overwhelmed, to feel shame or regret, to have anxiety or to just be at a loss. Seeking professional counselling to help you through parenting challenges can alleviate stress, bring clarity to the “big picture”, and secure you with the tools to communicate more effectively, build respectful, healthy family dynamics, and understand your children better. I provide free consultation phone calls to determine whether I am the right fit to help you through these challenges.
Parenting is one of the most challenging roles we can undertake because each child has unique needs and there can be a lot of conflicting and confusing information out there. It can feel difficult to know what is right for your family, especially if challenges arise. Therapy for parenting can provide a supportive space to be able to work through difficult situations and explore approaches that work best for your family. When working with parents, we work together as a team because parents are the expert when it comes to their children. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit.
Navigating the complexities of parent-child relationships and the dynamics of being parents or siblings can be challenging, especially during transitions or conflicts. I specialize in online dyadic family therapy work, where I work with parents, parent-child pairs, or sibling dyads to enhance understanding, communication, and harmony within your family unit. Let's embark on a journey to build stronger connections and create a nurturing environment together. Reach out for a free consultation, and let's take the first step towards a happier, more harmonious family life.
Our clinicians believe that the best work can be done by supporting parents. When we can learn to regulate our own emotions, heal our own wounds, manage conflict in our relationships, and learn to understand the needs and messages underneath our children's behaviour, we can help create the change we hope to see in our household.
Our therapists know that parenting isn't easy, and have a deep compassion for this role. We can create a space for your process the difficulties of parenting, as well as help you find ways to intervene and cope better.

Parenting Support is support where and when you need it. Change with our children begins with us as parents. A big part of parenting is tolerating and sitting with a child when they are having big, overwhelming feelings. If you didn't get this when you were young, a big part of Re-parenting yourself is tolerating and staying with yourself while you are having big, overwhelming feelings. Support is based on positive, respectful, compassionate, gentle and connection based parenting techniques that are effective and meaningful. It begins with building a relationship to get to know your families history, strengths, and challenges to bring about change through empowerment and self awareness. Practical, attainable strategies will start to be discussed from your first session.
I offer supportive guidance for parents and caregivers navigating the joys and challenges of raising children. Through a collaborative and non-judgmental approach, I assist in developing effective communication skills, implementing positive parenting strategies, and cultivating a nurturing environment for the well-being of both parents and children.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Masters in the Arts
As a parent of three, I can relate to very challenging parenting issues. It is never easy, and can be extremely painful when we see our children go through difficulties in their lives. I can help to process your emotions, to provide clarity, and to guide you to a more peaceful parenting experience.
Parenting brings both joy and hardship. Parents face many expectations and are required to balance a multitude of demands. Therapy can provide a supportive space in which you can slow down amidst all that you are navigating and develop greater awareness of your needs and the needs of your child(ren) and family. Therapy can also be an opportunity to generate possible solutions to ongoing and emergent challenges within your parenting journey. As a therapist, my aim is to work with you in a way that respects your parenting values and upholds the best interests of your and your child(ren)’s well-being.
