When that stress becomes unmanageable it can lead to a multitude of mental health issues and distress. I can support and help individuals, couples, or families implement and learn effective skills to cope with these.

I have learned and worked with people addressing cultural identity, oppression, violence, refugees, victims of torture, children and youth, Indigenous issues, trauma, grief and loss.
It takes courage to initiate counseling and therapy. Working with the mind and our thought processes takes curiosity, patience, and understanding. However, it is so important to not only address our thought processes but to also look at the environments we were in that helped shape the way we see ourselves. Our experiences, relationships, and connections impact our overall well being. I take great pride in you sharing that process with me so that you can achieve learning, healing, growing, and a sense of self-acceptance and love. I too have done this personal work and understand the challenges it brings but also the rewards.

My service is for you if you need guidance positive/gentle parenting support, struggle to navigate emotions at the presence of your child’s behaviour, seek to build a better bond with your child, longing to grow confident in your parenting role, desire to curate a space that supports your growing child.
Parenting is a profound privilege that comes with the responsibility to raise, nurture, and support little humans into reaching their highest potential. In the midst of the responsibility though, we tend to lose sight of our own well-being. We neglect to yield ourselves grace, celebrate our own milestones; simply put we forget to remember that we are human. As a Black woman parent coach, I know too well how we can lose ourselves. I hope you help you feel supported and better understand your parenting journey and relationship to your child.
