Parenting today can feel like assembling IKEA furniture blindfolded while someone throws Goldfish at your head. If you’ve ever Googled “Is my kid normal?” at 2 a.m. or hidden in the bathroom just to breathe, you’re not alone. Most of us weren’t given a manual — or even a basic emotional toolbox — yet we’re somehow expected to raise emotionally intelligent kids while regulating our own nervous systems between snacks. It’s a lot.

That’s why I support parents who are healing while parenting — people who want to lead with presence, not punishment, and who are trying to show up differently than what they were shown. My work is anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and rooted in real life, not perfection.

​

Using a developmental and attachment-based lens, we look beneath behaviour to understand what’s really happening — in your child and in you. We explore your child’s wiring for connection, and your own nervous system and inner child in the mix. Whether it’s power struggles, sensory needs, sibling conflict, or bedtime chaos, I help you move from reactivity to regulation, from shame to strategy.

This is collaborative work. I don’t hand out scripts or rigid rules. Together, we shape a parenting approach that fits your values, your child’s temperament, and your capacity. Some sessions are practical (what to say in a meltdown, how to set limits calmly). Others go deeper (intergenerational patterns, triggers, the support you never received). It all matters — and it’s all welcome.
