Gentle, honest support for the parent you're becoming.

Rooted Intention: 1:1 Sessions

A 1:1 session with me isn’t about being told what to do - it’s about being deeply seen, heard, and supported.

Together, we’ll create a calm, non-judgmental space where you can bring the real stuff: the questions, the doubts, the “am I doing this right?” moments, and the parenting challenges that keep showing up. Whether you're navigating daily dysregulation, tough behaviours, lingering guilt, or a desire to parent differently than you were parented, our time together is a chance to slow down and make sense of what’s going on - beneath the surface.

Our work is collaborative and tailored to you. That might include:

  • Making sense of your child’s behaviour through a trauma- and attachment-informed lens

  • Exploring what’s happening in your nervous system as a parent or caregiver

  • Co-creating strategies that feel doable, respectful, and aligned with your values

  • Working through moments of rupture and repair in your parent-child relationship

  • Learning how to regulate yourself so you can support your child in co-regulation

  • Exploring your own story and how it shows up in parenting today

You won’t leave with a checklist - you’ll leave with clarity, connection, and tools that feel rooted in you.

No “perfect parent” pressure - just real talk, relational insight, and gentle accountability to the intentions you want to parent from.

Whether you’re in the thick of it or just looking to parent with more purpose, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I’ll meet you right where you are.

Rooted Parenting Groups

Parenting can feel overwhelming, confusing, and isolating - especially when you’re facing challenging behaviours, big emotions, or just trying to find your footing. My Rooted Parenting Groups offer a supportive, down-to-earth space where parents and caregivers can come together to learn, share, and connect.

These evenings focus on trauma-informed and attachment-based approaches to understanding behaviour, regulation, and relationship repair. You’ll gain practical insights, compassionate guidance, and a chance to ask questions in a judgment-free environment.

Whether you’re new to these ideas or looking for a refresher, these sessions are designed to meet you where you are and empower you to move forward with greater confidence and connection.

Contact me for more information on upcoming Rooted Groups - I’d love to support you on your parenting journey.

Emotion Wise: Parent/Child Sessions

Supportive, in-the-moment guidance for emotional connection, co-regulation, and confidence.

Emotion Wise: Parent & Child Sessions are designed to help you and your child navigate big feelings - together. These sessions offer a safe, supportive space where we gently build emotional awareness, regulation skills, and secure connection through real-time learning and interaction.

Unlike traditional counselling or therapy, these sessions are rooted in mentorship and psychoeducation. As your child explores their emotions through play, conversation, or activities, I work alongside you - offering insight into what’s really going on beneath the behaviour, and guiding you in the moment with simple, responsive ways to support your child.

You’ll gain:

  • A deeper understanding of your child’s emotional needs and nervous system responses

  • Real-time mentorship in how to co-regulate and respond without escalating

  • Gentle language and tools to use in those “stuck” or overwhelming moments

  • Practical, developmentally-informed strategies you can carry into daily life

  • Increased confidence in your role as a calm, connected presence

These sessions are perfect for caregivers who want to move from frustration or uncertainty to confidence and connection without pressure to “fix” or be perfect.

Come as you are. Together, we’ll build the skills and insight to move through big emotions with more ease and understanding- one session at a time.

Session Pricing

I believe that access to care should not be limited by financial barriers. To support this, I offer sliding scale pricing for those who may not be able to afford the full session fee. This means the cost of sessions can be adjusted based on your current financial situation.

If you're interested in working together but are concerned about affordability, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We can have a conversation to explore options that feel fair and sustainable for both of us.

Session costs are typically $130/60 mins and $170/90 mins

Insurance Coverage

​​

Some extended health benefit plans may cover services provided by a Child and Youth Care (CYC) Practitioner, especially when the services fall under categories like mental health support, counselling, or therapy. As a registered member of the Ontario Association of Child and Youth Care (OACYC), I encourage you to check with your provider to see if my services are eligible for reimbursement.

When speaking with your insurance company, it may be helpful to ask:

  • Does my plan cover services provided by a Child and Youth Care Practitioner?

  • Does it cover counselling or mental health support from practitioners registered with a professional association (such as the OACYC)?

  • Is a referral required from a physician?

  • Are there limits to the number of sessions or amount covered per year?

Because coverage varies widely between providers and plans, I recommend contacting your insurer directly to confirm your specific benefits.

​

*I am working towards becoming an associate of a Registered Social Worker (RSW). When this occurs, clients who have benefit coverage for RSW, will be able to claim my services under their extended health benefits. I will update my site as these changes occur.
