We offer guidance and support for parents facing challenges in raising their children. Our approach helps improve parent-child relationships, communication, and overall family dynamics.
Parenting brings up everything unintegrated, un-dealt with in our selves will easily bring up a lot from our own childhood, and to be in the vulnerability of that, at the same time as caring for a child, depending on us, calls for gentleness and the release of the need to perform according to outer ideals and ideas. As parents, we more than anywhere else, need to okay with being imperfect, and to learn how to see, and meet with another being intimately in the midst of that.
Children read us all the time, and if what we say don't match how we "walk the talk" they get confused - more than being and doing the right thing, our children need us to be authentic and honest, so they can know us and see us. To be a role model, doesn't mean to do the right thing all the time, but to not use power where we feel lack, and instead allow them to see your humanness
Parenting is hard work full of ups and downs. Together looking at parenting holistically we can discuss effective tools, strategies, and schedules that will make your home a happier place where everyone is growing and developing in healthy ways.
If seeking parenting based support I can help you deepen your connection and improve communication with your child, while further supporting you as a parent in developing confidence in your ability to manage the many stressors of parenting. My approach to parenting support is effective in not only modifying unwanted behaviours, but increasing mutual trust, and instilling life long skills that will prove invaluable as your child(ren) develop towards adulthood.
While our minds and bodies function to protect us, our survival strategies may not always produce long-term outcomes which suit how one prefers their life to look. Chronic experiences of the four f's (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) can knock one off balance to their valued, preferred way of living. In therapy, I will integrate my personal and professional training in DBT, to collaborate and form a treatment plan with you that aligns with your values and preferred parenting story.
I have dedicated my long career to parent education and family therapy. I use an Adlerian approach to help parents understand their child's behaviour better and to gain greater cooperation and harmony in the family. I begin by helping parents understand the goals of their child's behaviour (undue attention-seeking, power, revenge, assumed inadequacy). From there we work on specific effective strategies to become more inclusive and democratic. These approaches are very effective in helping children feel respected, valued and important in the family and will reduce conflict and misbehaviour significantly. I always focus on the tools of encouragement, communication, problem-solving and shared responsibility and will help parents learn how to hold effective family meetings as a way of keeping these goals in sight.
At times parenting get difficult, parents struggle developing their child’s skills or experience a hard time maintaining positive communication with their child. Counselling / psychotherapy can help parents to develop skills to resolve conflicts and create a positive relationship with their child.

Are you struggling to relate to your child? Do you feel like you are at the end of your rope? Find ways to connect and communicate more easily with your child.
Parenting is life-changing, wonderful, and challenging. As a mother of two beautiful humans myself, I know how parenting transcends time. What I mean by this is that parents have to deal with present day tantrums of their children while reenacting their own parents, or seeing themselves in their children, or any combination of these which changes and switches based on how you feel, where you are, and who your with. Let’s not forget how becoming parents greatly impacts your relationship with your spouse. It’s a lot, because it’s alot of change and adjustment all at once.
One on one therapy for parents can be especially wonderful. Finally, a space just for them. Free to feel and say out loud all that you need/want too but don’t because of pressure.
Our parenting therapy offers guidance, support, and practical strategies to help parents navigate the challenges of raising children.
