I provide support for individuals and couples struggling with parenting issues and help families manage difficult transitions such as divorce and separation.
When you're feeling "stuck" and overwhelmed by challenges, it can be extremely frustrating and disheartening. As you struggle to cope, your relationships and other priorities can suffer, leading to feelings of loneliness and hopelessness. During these times, it is important to have a safe, compassionate space to explore and process issues, identify your own strengths and insights and tap into your own inherent resiliency.

Clients seek counselling for a variety of reasons - relationship difficulties, marital problems, workplace stress, parent-child conflict, family dysfunction, anger, depression, grief, and major losses and changes in their lives. At times people become tired of the way they perceive or undervalue themselves or conversely, they may be tired of communicating with their partners, children, and others in a non-effective way. This may create high stress levels, anxiety, sadness, loneliness, and hopelessness, and as a result they may feel lost, misunderstood, or caught in a never-ending cycle and are seeking a different outcome.

Jordan has also supported clients through life transitions such pre/post natal, parenting, school/career issues, and grief/loss.
On the surface, things are going well, but you've felt anxious and exhausted for a long time; the responsibilities of life just keep piling up and you're feeling overwhelmed. You know regulating your emotions and finding balance is important, but you often wonder how and what that even looks like. Your tendencies to people please, your inner negative dialogue, your lack of motivation, all make it difficult to recognize and prioritize your own needs. You recognize the truth, that something has to change.

You may be feeling overwhelmed with feelings and thoughts you can't describe and are finding it hard to cope. Or, you may be a parent who wants to support your child/teen who is struggling with his/her emotions. Sometimes, it is hard to describe experiences that you, yourself, may difficult to understand. You may feel alone in your experience and fear that no one will be able to relate. It's exhausting. Or, as a parent, you may be noticing changes in your child/teen that are concerning and it is hard to see him/her struggling.

Becoming a mom is one of the most amazing, joyful experiences you’ve ever had- and it can also be overwhelming. From worrying about taking care of a new little human to images and examples of moms who seem to be ‘getting it right’, you may feel like somehow you’re not measuring up. Navigating relationships with family and friends, returning to work, and the challenges created by the pandemic may have increased your fears and heightened your ‘mom guilt’. As someone who has experienced this first-hand, I offer you a space where you can share it all- the good and the messy- and feel empowered in this role of a lifetime.

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.
