Parenting children of any age can be both rewarding and challenging. If you are having difficulty meeting the challenges you face in parenting or coparenting, therapy can offer you the opportunity to discover strategies for managing your child(ren)’s behaviour and develop an approach to parenting that includes:
- empathy, encouragement and responsiveness
- limits and healthy boundaries
- valuing each party involved

Parenting in the modern world can often feel like a thankless exercise. Parents today are forced to navigate social and technological issues which can be exhausting to face with their children. Understanding how to navigate your own parenting values in light of these circumstances is crucial, and our therapists can help provide you with the clarity to do so.
Parenting therapy can provide a supportive space to develop approaches that work for your child(ren) and family. It can be a space for parents and caregivers to explore the expectations they hold for themselves and their children, and to further question whether these ideals limit or serve them. By developing insight into your child’s needs and your own capacities, you can learn to respond to challenges with parenting approaches grounded in authenticity and connection.
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.
Parenting can be one of the toughest and most rewarding experiences. There is so much that can get in the way of parenting in the ways that we hoped for. A busy schedule, finances, burn-out, and so many other factors are just a few obstacles that may get in the way. As a therapist, I am here to work with you to understand and develop the ways in which you wish to parent. I do not impose my own parenting ideas on you, but rather I seek to support you in figuring out who your most authentic and meaningful parent self is. This will allow us to support you in developing your own unique parenting tools and styles best suited for you and your family. Connect with me today for a free consult to see if we are a good fit.
Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in life. There is no manual for how to raise children/teens and we are bound to make mistakes. However, you can learn skills to help you attune to your child's feelings to help them feel safe. Children/teenagers can often feel confused about their emotions, which can lead to unhealthy thoughts and behaviours. Let us work together through play or expressive arts in understanding your child's/teen's needs for love and security.
Many of our registered psychologists and licensed therapists have extensive training and experience providing parent consultation to parents about children's mental health needs, behavioural challenges and relationship issues.
