I enjoy working with individuals, couples, groups and families. My treatment approach is to provide support and insight to help clients address current life challenges and long standing issues. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as a primary intervention and skills training for those clients seeking solutions for issues related to emotional regulation, interpersonal communication breakdowns, and difficulties in managing stress and personal balance.

The Avery Centre has experienced and compassionate therapists ready to help children and adults suffering from trauma, grief, loss, and/or PTSD. After a crisis, loss, or trauma, each individual has their own way of grieving, and coping. Sadness, guilt, shock, anger, frustration, rage, and feelings of helplessness may occur. The healing process may begin with the passage of time and the support of loved ones; however, professional help may be needed for support during the initial shock of the situation and later on while experiencing different stages of the grief cycle. The Avery Centre was created to provide clients with support, guidance, understanding, and empathy during these most difficult times.

As an Associate Clinical Social Worker, I work with adults and families struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction. Anxiety, depression and traumatic experiences can make us feel stuck in an unrelenting mental loop. Not only can traumatic experiences create anxiety and depression- but left untreated, trauma can manifest in different parts of the body.

Another screaming match with your partner just ended. You’re not even sure what it was about this time. Lately, you can’t seem to be around each other without it turning into a fight. It wasn’t always this way. There was a time when your relationship was rewarding and fulfilling. But something changed. Now, you spend all of your time just trying to avoid arguments. You want desperately to reconnect with the person you fell in love with, but it feels like you’re speaking different languages. You’re not ready to give up on this relationship, but things just keep getting worse. It all feels so hopeless. There must be some other way.

Relationships - sometimes it feels like we can’t live with them, but we can’t live without them. They are central to our home, work, and social lives, but can cause feelings of stress, anxiety, and even depression. If you feel stuck in the same old song and dance - there is hope! Even though it takes “two to tango”, one person can be the catalyst for change. If you are a parent struggling to get through the day, a spouse hiding how you really feel from your partner, or an individual desiring a relationship, but feeling defeated that no matter how many dating apps you try, “the one” doesn’t seem to be out there... you are not alone.

Parenting Therapists

What does therapy for parenting look like?

Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?

When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?

Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?

Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
