Support for Parents Navigating Complex Emotions and Challenges

In-person in Toronto, Ontario & Virtual Across Canada

You’re doing everything you can, and it still doesn’t feel like enough.

​

Your teen is shutting you out, their emotions feel bigger than you know how to handle. School has become a daily battle, or a recent diagnosis has left you questioning everything you thought you knew about parenting.

​

You’re trying to stay calm, hold the family together, and be the “strong one.” But underneath it all, you’re worried. Frustrated. Exhausted.


Deep down, you just want to feel like you’re helping, not making things worse.

Parenting through the teen and young adult years is complex, especially when your child is dealing with anxiety, school refusal, identity exploration, trauma, or the fallout of divorce.​​

Therapy isn’t just for your child — it’s for you too.

Together, we’ll create space for your feelings. The grief. The guilt. The worry.


We’ll talk about what’s working, what isn’t, and what small shifts can make a big difference.

​

You’ll leave sessions with insight, tools, and support, so you can show up for your child without burning out.

Parents often reach out when…

​

  • Their teen is overwhelmed, angry, or shut down — and they don’t know how to help

​

  • School refusal or poor attendance has become a daily struggle

​

  • A recent diagnosis (ADHD, Autism, anxiety, etc.) has raised new questions

​

  • Co-parenting or blended family dynamics are adding to the tension

​

  • There’s been a major transition like separation, loss, or moving

​

  • Communication at home feels like walking on eggshells

​

  • They feel stuck in a cycle of reacting, worrying, and second-guessing themselves

In counselling, I help:

​​

  • Make sense of what your child is experiencing

​

  • Understand how their brain and nervous system work

​

  • Respond with confidence instead of reactivity

​

  • Communicate in ways that build trust, not distance

​

  • Set boundaries that feel respectful, not rigid

​

  • Support your child without losing yourself in the process

​​

​

You’re not failing. You’re just facing something hard, I can help
