PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR ADULTS You may be feeling: Anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally reactive Stuck in patterns that don’t shift, despite insight Depressed, disconnected from yourself or others Hard on yourself in ways that are difficult to change I offer a supportive, relationship-based approach that helps you make sense of what you’re feeling and begin to respond differently, accessing resilience and creating lasting change. My work is trauma-informed, longer-term therapy that generally begins weekly (depending on your goals) and moves to bi-weekly or monthly sessions.

Parent–Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps you learn and practice skills to support your child’s behaviour and strengthen your relationship. You will be coached live, in the moment, while interacting with your child. PCIT is delivered virtually, so you can work with your child at home where these skills are practiced and become part of everyday life. What to expect: Children 2 - 7 years old Weekly sessions Typically 12 to 20 sessions Clear, practical tools that work at home and generalize to school Parents often notice: Reduced tantrums and aggression Improved listening and cooperation More confidence and calm in their parenting A stronger, more positive relationship with their child Click 'Request Appointment' for Free 15-Minute Consultation PARENTING CLASS (Ages 2–7) A small, interactive group designed to give you practical, evidence-based tools for the real-life moments that feel hardest: transitions, big emotions, power struggles, and listening.
