Renew’s counselling services offer therapeutic support to families dealing with the anxieties and stressors of high conflict relationships and co-parenting problems. I counsel parents experiencing separation or divorce; in high-conflict relationships; involved in family court, dealing with custody issues, or have children involved in supervised access visits. Additionally, I offer anger management and parenting classes that provide a certification of completion. Through personal goal-setting and a combined application of Behaviour Management, CBT, DBT and Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, I have helped families navigate life’s transitions.
I have over 20 years of experience counseling children, youth, adults, and families battling with anxiety and depression; behaviour issues such as emotional regulation, sleep problems, oppositional behaviours, school refusal, parent/child conflicts, bullying; and family transitions such as separation and divorce, high-conflict marriage, parental alienation.
I understand that dealing with separation, divorce, custody, and the family court system, as well as, high-conflict relationships and concerns of child abuse takes a toll on the mental health of parents and children. My client-centered, strength-based approach and use of various therapeutic approaches work to heal existing wounds.
