When working with children and parents, I view addressing difficulties together as a way to help family members connect with each other in a meaningful way and strengthen the family bond.

You may be feeling that things have become a bit difficult with your child. As a result, perhaps you haven't felt as connected and parenting hasn't felt as rewarding as it used​ to. Some common struggles I've helped families with are: 

  • Morning and Bedtime Routines
  • Sibling Relations
  • Separations
  • Tantrums
  • Homework Issues
  • Screen-time
  • School Issues
  • Social Challenges
  • Toileting Issues

Sometimes there are just a few areas of conflict that need tweaking to make things go more smoothly. Other times, parents feel that many interactions with their child(ren) are problematic and there is much discord in the home. At those times it can feel that just getting through each day is difficult, tiring and family life is lacking a feeling of joy and connection.

Sometimes challenges show up at home, or you may hear from a teacher that your child is struggling at school. Other times the signs are less obvious — maybe you sense your child is anxious, sad, or having a hard time with friendships. In some cases, this may also be a time when you begin to wonder whether your child might have a neurodivergent style that you’d like to better understand and support. Most children hit bumps in the road as they grow, and every family faces tough stretches. Whatever your concern and wherever you find yourself on the ‘family trouble meter,’ therapy can help you work toward positive change. Just as importantly, it creates an opportunity to show your child that difficulties can be faced together — and that things can get better.
