Children are facing more stress, anxiety, trauma, and uncertainty than ever before. As diagnoses of neurodivergence (autism spectrum, ADHD) increase, and gender/ sexuality and other identities are being affirmed, there is a need to support children and youth differently these days. When children are not doing well, parents need support too. Parents/ co-parents often feel overwhelmed and not fully equipped to offer their beloved children everything they need. Sometimes parents or individual adults are affected by their own trauma, and this impacts their daily living.

First, I will meet with you as the parent to determine the best approach for your situation. Through an individualized plan, I can work with your child, I can help you as a parent, or we can do a combination of child counselling and parenting support to help you meet your goals. Using evidence-based methods, I will help you process trauma and feelings of overwhelm, as needed, so that you may experience freedom, clarity, and progress towards your goals.

By building a therapeutic alliance, we will increase your child’s ability to cope, to manage reasonable expectations, and most importantly, to love themselves for the wonderful humans they are. Through individual or parent counselling, you will be more confident and able to cope, so you are able to fully enjoy a more peaceful day-to-day existence.
