"What is therapy?"
"How could it help me? "
You probably have so many questions you'd like answered before deciding to move forward with professional support. Let us answer all of them in a complimentary 20-minute phone consultation.
Therapeutic relationship is the biggest predictor of positive treatment outcomes, so it is just as important to me that we are a good match!
Relationships:
Spouse feeling more like a roommate?
Critical and over-bearing mother-in-law?
Best friend continuously letting you down?
Lets talk about it before you blow your top and say something that makes the situation much harder to manage. We are social beings who thrive when we have meaningful connections with others.
Let's begin fulfilling this instinctual need of ours!
Parenting:
"What on earth did I sign up for?"
"Why is my toddler trying to kill me?"
"Why do I have to do everything?"
Parenthood is HARD. Let me be your guide, sounding board, and supportive voice on this difficult, unpredictable journey.
Every child is different and there is no specialized course to help you to respond their unique personality and behaviours.
Using my specialized knowledge of attachment, trauma, neurobiology, and child development, I can help set you up for success (and calmer days) in raising confident and resilient children.
Children, Youth, and Adolescents:
Teacher concerned about your child's ability to regulate their emotions?
Does your 10 year-old rush upstairs after school and hide in their room?
Teenager silent during family dinners but you know there is a lot they are navigating?
Sometimes simply being your child/adolescents' parent makes it difficult for them to share their problems with you. Offering them another adult to speak with about topics/issues relevant to growing up in today's world, may be exactly what they (and you) need. I like to believe that I am a big kid at heart and I think your child, youth, or teen will quickly see me as their ally and a necessary support in their life.
Life Transitions:
Not a fan of change? Especially change that wasn't your idea?
Let's discuss all that is happening in your life or the changes that you know need to be made. Going from partner to parent, employed to unemployed, or student to employee... times of transition can be daunting and difficult to navigate alone. Let's partner together and see how we can manage these difficult times more effectively.
Do you need support communicating with your child's school or other organizations involved with your family?
It is important for all of your child's environments to have a similar understanding of their behaviours, needs, strengths, and areas that require further support. We sometimes need help being our child's advocate and there is nothing wrong with that.
Together, we can ensure that your child is supported in the most helpful way.
Need specific information and practical strategies without wanting to dive in to the nitty gritty of your life? Fine by me!
