Parenting is a special journey that can often leave us feeling overwhelmed and asking ourselves, “are we/am I doing this right?”. As a parent myself, I get it! Parenting our children touches all aspects of our lives as individuals and couples, presenting challenges that we never anticipated. Whether you are a new parent adapting to the demands of a baby, a seasoned parent feeling exhausted and burnt out, or possibly sensing disconnection from your child or your own sense of well-being, support is available to help you on this journey. If you are in Ontario, you may reach out to me at Ekya Counselling & Psychotherapy.
As a Social Worker and Psychotherapist, who has worked with parents and families for 15+ years, I am here to support your parenting journey. I offer a customized approach to each client; listening to understand your hopes for service in a space of non-judgement; creating a comfortable space to talk through your parenting challenges and explore your goals.
I am here to help you chart the course forward in creating the parenting journey you want. Supporting parents in transforming their relationship with their children is at the heart of my practice. I believe that children thrive when parents are supported and that together, we have the power to heal generations. Contact me now for a free 15-min consultation.

I tend to use an eclectic approach in my practice which amalgamates a variety of modalities. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to counselling and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. As we move forward, we will examine what has worked well, what needs to happen and how you can make the shift you want in your life.
