Thank you for reaching out!

Myself or one of my Colleagues can be available to provide support to you or someone you know in need of emotional support and guidance. You might be experiencing some depression or anxiety. You may be having suicidal thoughts or behaviors. You might be experiencing an internal struggle over something that may be interfering with your focus or daily productivity. Something in your life may be causing you significant stress, where additional coping skills or solutions could benefit you. Or, you just may need an open ear, objective support in your decision-making process of an important decision that you have to make.

(Online sessions available)

Myself or one of my Colleagues can be available to provide support to your teenager who has become beyond your control, may be experiencing peer related issues, demonstrating impulsivity or excessive anger or may be engaging in self-harm or having suicidal thoughts or behaviors. As many teenagers struggle with sitting in an office, face to face and talking, I feel it is beneficial to combine office visits with community visits; promoting communication while engaged in an activity.

You or someone you know may have been estranged from your child(ren) for some reason. If the Court is involved, it may order that the estranged parent participate in reunification therapy to receive support in being reintroduced to their child(ren). Through observation and
assessment, familiarity and comfortability are reestablished.

This would be for a person who may be considering divorce or may already be separated and in the process of a divorce. You might need some feedback and support for where you are emotionally with this consideration or action on how to proceed. When couples are in strife or already separated, parenting can become even more unbalanced and have an emotional
impact on you and your children 

If you are involved with the Court and you and your ex-spouse are ordered to come up with some parent coordinators to choose from. Whether you are on Our family Wizard or Talking Parents, or neither, I would be able to assist you and the other parent in utilizing more effective communication and objective responses with the topics of disagreement. My support would be based on what would be in the best interest of the child(ren). If high-conflict has been ongoing and decisions can’t be agreed upon between you and the other parent, the Court may order a PC/DM to be involved.

The rules, expectations, consequences and/or structure that a parent has created in their home may not be working anymore. Do you find the parenting role of you and your spouse is
unbalanced and this causes conflict between the two of you. Your child/ teenager’s behaviors may have become more challenging or beyond your control, and you don’t know what to do anymore. You may be in involved with the Court system and may want to strengthen your parenting skills, learn parenting skills or validate your parenting skills. I can provide support and education to a parent or caregiver to strengthen parenting skills. Using psychoeducation, I can help a parent to better understand family functioning, child development and the behaviors of
children and youth.

There are times the Court is going to order for a CFI to become involved in your divorce case due to the ongoing conflict and allegations between the parents regarding their parenting or relationships with the children. The CFI is going to investigate each home and report to the Court. This can cause a person stress, anxiety and insecurity because of the unknown, and not knowing what to expect. I have provided support to parents for this, meeting with them a time or two before the investigation begins and maybe during the investigation to educate and help decrease the anxiety and insecurities.

Parental alienation is where a parent intentionally or unintentionally attempts to turn or coerce their children against the other parent. This, typically, happens after parents have separated and may be making unsupportive, derogatory or coercive statements about the other parent in front of their child(ren) in order for their children to align with them and be less interested in wanting to see the
other parent. This can lead to child estrangement behaviors, where the child(ren) will not be interested in or refusing to see the targeted parent.

If you are a parent who has been estranged from your child(ren) or know a parent who has been estranged from their child(ren), it may be required by the Court or the custodial parent for the visits between the estranged parent and their child(ren) to be supervised by a professional. I am available to provide in-office or community,  supervised or therapeutic supervised visits.
