You’re not lost. You’re in the middle of figuring it out.
Maybe you’re stuck in power struggles, constantly questioning yourself, or feeling like nothing “works” for your child. You’re doing everything you can and still wondering if it’s enough.​ Parenting a child with big feelings, unique needs, or confusing behaviours can be overwhelming, especially when the usual advice doesn’t seem to fit.
​
What you really want is to understand your child (and yourself) more clearly, to stop spiraling in self-doubt, and start feeling more grounded in how you respond. You're not looking for perfection, but a path that feels doable, compassionate, and real. Because more than anything, you want your relationship with your child to feel stronger, not more strained.
What I Offer
Parent Support and Education
Compassionate, practical support for the people kids depend on most.
Whether you’re navigating power struggles, neurodivergence, big emotions, or just the everyday overwhelm of raising children — I help you make sense of what’s going on beneath the behaviour. Together, we build tools that work for your family, grounded in relationship, developmental insight, and real-life practicality.
Therapy for Children and Youth
Connection-based support that honours your child’s unique strengths and needs.
I offer developmentally attuned therapy for children — especially those who are neurodivergent, sensitive, or struggling to cope. Sessions focus on helping kids feel safe, seen, and supported through big feelings, behaviour challenges, and life transitions. My work is always relational, respectful, and grounded in how your child actually experiences the world.
When a child is struggling, it’s natural to focus on them and seek answers, tools, therapy. Sometimes, direct support for a child is exactly what’s needed. Often, however, the fastest and most lasting change starts with parents.
​
You are your child’s safe base, their model, and their most important relationship. When you feel more resourced, supported, and steady, it transforms the environment your child is growing in. That’s why parent support is often the most direct and effective way to help your child thrive.
Sometimes the most powerful way to help your child is to start with you.
Hi, I’m Lisa.
I'm a therapist, parent support provider, and mom of four (yes, four - including twins!).
​​
I’ve spent nearly two decades supporting children and families — especially those navigating neurodivergence, big emotions and behaviours, and the kind of parenting that challenges the usual advice and calls for something deeper. I'm a Registered Social Worker (RSW) holding Master’s degrees in both Social Work and Education (MSW, MEd), as well as a former behaviour analyst (BCBA) who now works from a relationship-first, compassionate lens.
​
I bring both clinical experience and real-life parenting perspective to the work I do. I know first-hand what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, out of ideas, and still deeply committed to your child.
