From an attachment lens (our earliest relationships), and a somatic approach (emotions and how they show up in the body) I work with perinatal anxiety and depression, the adjustment to motherhood and parenting (matrescence), relationships, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and loss.
There is a place for you here. Therapy in the heart of Westboro. Sometimes we need space to make sense of our experiences. Life transitions, such as parenting, relationship changes, profound loss, or the unexpected are a chance to pause, reflect and understand our experiences. I enjoy working with parents adjusting to parenthood, young adults figuring out their next steps, and couples navigating their relationship in parenthood. For some, spirituality is important and I am adept at holding space through this lens. This is a place to talk it through and together find different skills to manage and make sense of your world.

Parenting Counsellors

What does therapy for parenting look like?

Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?

When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?

Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?

Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
