Parenting support, individual and family therapy

General Approach

  

My theoretical approach is grounded in a trauma informed model with an emphasis on attachment and relationships. Which therapeutic modalities are used is tailored to the individual client's needs and desires. In other words, I do not fit you to my model, but adapt my models to fit your needs. Some of the models I am versed in and bring to my practise are:


  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
  • Family Systems Theory
  • Solution-Focused Therapy
  • Psychoeducation 
  • Child-Centered Play Therapy
  • Mindfulness

Parent Coaching

I offer parent coaching with families concerned with the mental health or behaviour of their child.  We collaboratively work together to determine the treatment plan and the family carries it out on a daily basis. Weekly check-ins are offered as are in person sessions.
