Parenting is one of life's greatest challenges. There are thousands of books on it because there are so many opinions on how to do it well. I help clients think out loud, explore challenges they may have in their relationships with their kids and find out what their goals are so I can help them achieve them. Some psycho education around child development can be extremely helpful for parents to build effective boundaries with their kids which ultimately leads to stronger and deeper connections with them.
With an expertise in supporting parents for over a decade, my focus is to help moms weed through all the challenges, overwhelm, uncertainty and guilt of motherhood into a more empowered life. Igniting mindful shift is a compassionate and reflective way to navigate this process. When we shift our perspective, we can learn to connect with our inner-wisdom, and begin to live a more fulfilled life with a sense of purpose. I offer in-person and online counselling sessions for moms and couples that are experiencing challenges with the additional pressure and considerations of parenthood. I also offer educational workshops and classes that provide tools to help empower parents on their journey to better relationships with their children and with each other.
If seeking parenting based support I can help you deepen your connection and improve communication with your child, while further supporting you as a parent in developing confidence in your ability to manage the many stressors of parenting. My approach to parenting support is highly effective in not only modifying unwanted behaviours, but increasing mutual trust, and instilling life long skills that will prove invaluable as your child(ren) develop towards adulthood.
Most of my 30 year career has involved working with parents on parenting and discipline strategies. Now I incorporate more spiritual concepts in my work with parents. I'm also the parent of two grown children.
I offer supportive guidance for parents and caregivers navigating the joys and challenges of raising children. Through a collaborative and non-judgmental approach, I assist in developing effective communication skills, implementing positive parenting strategies, and cultivating a nurturing environment for the well-being of both parents and children.
Parenting involves a lot of work and can bring up a variety of frustrations. Whether you are struggling with your own thoughts and feelings towards parenting, or struggling with the behaviours of your child(ren), I will work with you on strategies for coping as well as looking at the larger family dynamics to ensure the best support for you during these difficult times. I will help support you as we work through the thoughts and feelings you are having. Focusing on therapeutic relationship and building trust allows me to help support you while using a solution-focused lens.
Parenting comes with unique challenges and joys. I provide guidance and support to help you navigate the complexities of raising children, fostering positive family dynamics and enhancing your parenting skills.
Parenting is one of the most difficult tasks we humans encounter in our lives. If you love and care for your children it is exhausting on a daily basis. But their are ways to develop better relationship boundaries with your children that will still allow you to have a loving and caring relationship with them. Sometimes you just need the right kind of support.
Parenting is one of the hardest things to do as a human, but it doesn't have to be. Through compassionate and honest communication, you can learn to accept and take on the challenges that come with raising a family.
