Child Behaviour Therapy & Support for Big Feelings

When your child’s behaviour feels intense, unpredictable, or exhausting, it can be hard to know what they need—or what to do next.

I support children ages 2–10 and their parents when big feelings, meltdowns, resistance, aggression, avoidance, or ongoing power struggles are making daily life harder.

My approach looks beyond the behaviour itself. Together, we work to understand what is underneath it, build your child’s skills, and help you feel more confident responding in the moments that matter most.

You might be seeing…

Frequent meltdowns or explosive reactions
Hitting, kicking, biting, or other aggressive behaviour
Constant arguing or power struggles
“No” to almost everything
Difficulty accepting limits or transitions
Intense frustration when things don't go their way
Avoidance, refusal, or shutdown
Behaviour that seems much bigger than the situation
Difficulty regulating emotions
Behaviour that is creating stress for the whole family

What we work on

Rather than focusing only on stopping a behaviour, I help parents understand what their child may be communicating and what skills or support are missing.

For children: play-based, developmentally appropriate therapy to help them express feelings, build emotional awareness, develop regulation skills, and experience themselves as capable.

For parents: support understanding your child's behaviour, responding during difficult moments, setting limits, reducing power struggles, and bringing what we learn in therapy into everyday life.

Parent involvement is a core part of my approach

Understanding what your child's behaviour might be communicating, and how to best support, is part of how I make sure you feel supported and confident in this process, too.
