Building Stronger Families Together
WHY THIS APPROACH WORKS
Most therapy for young children focuses on what happens inside the therapy room.
But children don’t live in a therapy room—they live in relationships, routines, transitions, and everyday moments with you.
That’s where change actually happens.
- Your child’s behaviour is communication
- Real-life moments (bedtime, school mornings, transitions) matter most
- When parents feel supported, children feel more secure and capable
You are not on the sidelines in your child’s therapy—you are part of the process.
WHAT I HELP WITH
I support young children and their parents with:
- Anxiety (worry, fears, school refusal, clinginess)
- Avoidance and shutdown (“won’t” behaviours, withdrawal, resistance)
- Big emotions and meltdowns
- Power struggles and intense reactions
- Difficulty with transitions, limits, and frustration
These behaviours aren’t random—they’re signals. Together, we make sense of what your child is communicating and what will actually help.
HOW THERAPY CAN LOOK
Every family is different. That’s why support is flexible and tailored.
Child Therapy (Clinic or In-Home)
- Play-based, developmentally appropriate sessions
- A safe space for emotional expression and processing
- Builds regulation, confidence, and emotional language
Parent Involvement (Core to the work)
- Regular parent consultation sessions
- Coaching on how to respond in real-time situations
- Support translating therapy into daily life
- Collaborative planning for change at home
The Integration
Therapy isn’t just what happens in sessions—it’s what happens between them, in your real life.
WHAT WORKING TOGETHER LOOKS LIKE
- Initial parent consultation to understand your child and your concerns
- Ongoing parent sessions for guidance and strategy building
- Child sessions (clinic or home-based, depending on fit)
- Continuous integration between therapy and home life
- Practical strategies you can actually use in the moment

How to Get Started
My practice is intentionally small so I can provide consistent, high-quality support to every family I work with.
Because of this, intake appointments are required before beginning therapy.
If you’re unsure which format is the best fit, we’ll decide together during the consultation.
