I'm so glad you made it here. If you're feeling...
Whether life sometimes gets you going in circles, leaving you distressed, stuck, or barely holding on. Or perhaps you’re left feeling alone, helpless, or disconnected from your loved ones. Simply ignoring or distracting yourself from your problems don’t seem to work, and trying harder just seems to make things worse. ​
If you find yourself grasping for answers, I'm here to say
there's hope!
Let’s take care of your family’s mental well-being
In a world where people increasingly connect digitally, wouldn’t you rather have a better physical connection with your child? You may wonder, how can I bridge the gap with them, give them the encouragement they need, or simply lead them in the right direction? It would make a world of difference for your family to have the tools and confidence as a parent to see them thrive.
​
Or is your child the one who needs to build more confidence?
​
Perhaps you would like them to be more successful at school, have better relationships, or better navigate the tough emotions they face.
​
It would help your child tremendously if they could have the courage and skills they need to be a resilient and well-adjusted participant in their world.
Perhaps what is keeping you from being the best parent or individual you can be, are in fact the things that are happening in your own life. There may be some childhood or historical trauma which you would like to resolve, or a loss you are grieving that you would like to get over. You may need to connect with your own mental well-being.
Whatever the issues you face, I’m here to say there’s hope!
As a Certified Parent Facilitator, I can consult with your individual parenting needs, and provide you with valuable knowledge and tools that can help you to become a more effective parent.
Having worked with families through Family Preservation and Reunification services, I can journey with you to address your parenting, coparenting or personal challenges. I can also offer a safe and secure environment for your child to explore their issues, whether it is through play therapy or talking to a trusted adult.
You’re not alone; let me help!
