Counseling and psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families.
Psychotherapy for individuals, children and families.
Specialities
Each of us is the sum of our experiences in life. The secret is discovering how those experiences interrelate. I offer professional counselling in the areas described below.
Children
Children have difficulties conveying their big feelings and often there is a mismatch between their feelings and behaviors. Therapy can help your child learn how to express and regulate their emotions in a healthy way. By developing coping skills, children will learn how to handle challenges in the future. I specialize in the common childhood disorders utilizing a.variety of interventions through therapeutic play. If your child has experienced violence or loss, trauma focused interventions will be incorporated.
Parents
Parents often forget to take care of their own mental health needs because they are busy taking care of the families needs. This contributes to the overwhelming and imbalanced feeling of being a parent. In therapy, parents will learn to develop and implement strategies to address child rearing challenges. Parents will also learn how their inner child and reactivity is being played out in their parenting.
Pregnancy & Postpartum
Addressing perinatal mental health issues is critical to the development of the baby, infant-parent relationship, and mothers mental health. Many women suffer in silence during pregnancy and postpartum period. It’s okay to not be okay! Not every pregnancy is a blissful experience, especially if there is unresolved trauma surfacing. In therapy, women will learn how to manage their emotions, prepare for the baby, and increase their support.
