Over the past 10 years, I have gained extensive experience supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, family or relationship trauma, self-esteem issues and parenting challenges.
Hi there and welcome to my practice! I specialize in working with women, children and youth from an evidence-based, empathetic and down-to-earth approach. My goal is to foster an environment of safety and openness where we can work together on one or multiple issues. I primarily focus on "parts" work. That means learning about the different parts of ourselves, including those that are stuck, hurt or reactive, in order to facilitate healing and respond to situations from a place of calm, compassion and confidence. I also believe in the benefits of humour and laughter, and allowing space for it in session!

It provides us with the energy we need to meet everyday challenges, whether they involve parenting, resolving family issues, negotiating workplace conflicts, or navigating in the community at large.
I specialize in intensive couple therapy to create safe, and secure-functioning relationships. I explore attachment styles (developed early in life) so that couples understand why they say and do the things they do. With my guidance, couples define mutually-shared agreements that will provide a framework for operating as a team. And with this shared vision, they can learn to successfully manage any disagreements or disappointments that life may bring. My goal is to help each couple feel they are safe and secure, in each other's care, no matter the issue. I am a Level 11 PACT therapist.

Some of my areas of focus for therapy are personal growth, mood and wellbeing, relationships of all kinds, grief, life transitions, trauma, perinatal support, and parenting.
Wherever you find yourself at this moment, there is possibility. Sometimes our toughest moments can give way to transformative discoveries; sometimes the best we can do is learn to weather the storm. I approach therapy from an attachment-based, trauma-informed, somatically-oriented perspective. This means that I attend to emotions, experiences, relationship patterns, and bodily felt sense throughout the therapeutic process. I incorporate tools from various modalities according to each client’s particular needs, prioritizing our alliance in working together.

Finding the right therapist can make all the difference. Do you feel stuck in a situation where it is hard to see the light? Whether it’s events or patterns from your past, or your present, you may feel frustration or shame at not being able to change. Or as a parent/caregiver you might feel helpless as you watch your child struggle with anxiety or behaviour. And often a child in crisis can impact the dynamics of the entire family, making everyone feel off-balance and confused. Let's work together to help you start to bend towards the light, to feel the hope that comes with the support to create healthy, sustainable changes.

Whether it’s events or patterns from your past, or your present, you may feel frustration or shame at not being able to change. Or as a parent/caregiver you might feel helpless as you watch your child struggle with anxiety or behaviour. And often a child in crisis can impact the dynamics of the entire family, making everyone feel off-balance and confused. Let's work together to help you start to bend towards the light, to feel the hope that comes with the support to create healthy, sustainable changes.

I work primarily with children, adolescents, and their families to address challenges related to attachment, anxiety, depression, family conflict, developmental trauma and emotional dysregulation. The individuals and families I work with often need support in processing and regulating complex emotions or navigating stress and anxiety. When working with children, I encourage caregiver engagement in the therapy process where possible to support and bolster parent-child attachment needs. Families who come to me are generally looking for support in building resiliency and a sense of well-being.

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.
