Conflict and change are natural aspects of life that can leave us feeling anxious, unsettled, confused, stuck and overwhelmed; however, when managed effectively these feelings can be productive and empowering. As a Mediator and Therapist, my practice is driven by the power of effective communication: promoting healthy relationships and improved client's skill set.

I aim to empower parents as the "bigger, stronger, wiser, and kind" half of the parent-child relationship, and as such, I walk along side them as they make shifts in order to bring about the change within the family that they desire.
Parenting is a wondrous yet often difficult journey. Children's early development takes place within the context of their close relationships. My work focusses on helping to optimize the parent-child relationship as the foundation for a child to reach their potential and have the best possible start in life. I have focussed my career on working with children, including children with developmental differences and various medical challenges through settings such as Montreal Children's Hospital, Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and the Alberta Children's Hospital. I look forward to journeying with you on the adventure of parenting.

Does parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) work?
PCIT is an evidence-based treatment that has been shown to be effective across domains, including for children with behavioural problems, those on the autism spectrum, and those who have experienced early childhood trauma. Further, studies have found that the skills developed through PCIT benefit not only the child in therapy but also siblings, as the parent internalises lessons learned in sessions and is able to incorporate them into interactions with other family members.
How long does PCIT last?
The duration of treatment depends on the specific challenges clients face. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes long, and treatment lasts, on average, between 12 and 20 sessions. Factors that influence treatment duration include how regularly a client attends treatment, how much progress is achieved between sessions, the particular skills that need development, and the extent to which the parent and therapist see improvement.
Can PCIT be done online?
PCIT is among the therapy types best suited for video sessions. Therapists are able to communicate with parents with essentially the same ease, and by observing the parent and child at home in their normal environment, the therapist may gain additional insight into their interactions, as the child will have their normal toys and may feel more comfortable and act more naturally than they would in a therapist’s room.
Does PCIT help parents?
In addition to the skills parents develop through the treatment, PCIT has also been shown to reduce frustration, stress, and depression in parents and promote confidence and a sense of calm when dealing with their children. The desired outcomes of PCIT include a reduction in defiant and aggressive behaviour by children and an improvement in communicating their feelings productively, complying with parental instruction, and behaving according to parents’ rules. Growth in these areas can be a relief for parents.
