Parent Coaching
An attachment-focused approach combined with evidence-based strategies
In Parent Coaching sessions, I work to solve current problems and change unhelpful family patterns and child behaviour. I will help you organize your approach and provide you with valuable tools to cope with parenting challenges. You’ll walk out of my personalized Parent Coaching sessions feeling better able to connect with your children, manage power struggles and emotional melt-downs, and create more peace and predictability in the home.
Child Therapy
Making sense of big feelings
Are you noticing a lot of "big feelings" bringing your child down? Are they having trouble adjusting to changes in their life? Are you concerned about their interactions with peers or their sense of self-esteem? Child Therapy sessions help children learn coping skills, emotion regulation, and develop positive attitudes towards their relationships and their life. Using a combination of expressive play therapy and child-centred strategies my mission is to help children thrive.
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy
Specialized parenting for challenging behaviour patterns
Do you find yourself in a cycle of disagreements, power struggles, and frustration with your child's behaviour? It might be time to call in backup! Parent-Child Interaction Therapy helps parents of children ages 1-10 develop positive discipline strategies to shift disruptive behaviour. PCIT uses a unique, concrete in-the-moment coaching approach to teach parents and children new and positive ways to relate to each other. Parents learn how to encourage positive behaviour as well as effective discipline strategies tailored to their child’s behaviour and temperament. Contact me to find out if this program is right for you.
Individual Therapy
Helping you navigate a new path
I will help you “re-frame” your thinking and provide you with valuable tools to cope with life’s obstacles. I guide my clients on every step of the process and implement various methods that help them develop new attitudes towards all of life’s most complex matters. Schedule a free phone consultation and see what I can do for you.
Family Therapy
Bringing peace and calm to everyday interactions
It can be difficult to agree on parenting approaches, navigate co-parenting, and establish rules and respect with growing children. Family Therapy sessions are helpful for all of these challenges and more. I work with all kinds of families and with everyone who wants to be involved. Amazing things can come from communicating together with the guidance of a neutral support person. Contact me to see if this service is right for you.
Educational Workshops
Practical strategies for conscious caregivers
In community workshops, I present all of my favourite tools and strategies to help parents and caregivers navigate life with young children.

These workshops are suitable for anyone who spends time with children.
