Parenting is one of life’s most rewarding journeys, yet it often comes with challenges that can feel overwhelming. My goal as a parenting consultant is to provide you with tailored guidance and practical tools to support your family’s unique needs, both at home and in navigating complex situations with schools.

Whether it’s collaborating with school teams on Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), addressing behaviour concerns in the classroom, or advocating for the right support, I can help you approach these conversations with clarity and confidence. 

My support doesn’t stop at the school doors; I work with parents on various in-home dynamics, from managing sibling rivalry and addressing screen-time concerns to building stronger communication and setting boundaries. Together, we’ll foster a positive, connected, and resilient family environment.

Embrace your parenting journey with the tools and confidence to create meaningful change and enrich your family’s well-being every step of the way.

 

What a Consultant is Not

  • A parent consultant is not a therapist.
  • I do however have a Bachelor of Education Degree and a Masters Degree in Special Education and I am certified to work with families and children. 
  • I have worked with children and parents in education for over 25 years as a classroom teacher (all levels), special education teacher and school principal in elementary, middle, and high schools.

What Does a Parent Consultant Do?

  • Customized Support: Available via phone, in-person (pending location), Zoom, Teams, Skype, etc.
  • Routine Issues: Helps with morning and night routines.
  • Behavioural Challenges: Addresses power struggles, parental anger, discipline, homework, chores, and disrespectful behaviour.
  • Parenting Plans: Assists in creating and practicing parenting plans.
  • Problem-Solving: Provides ongoing support as new challenges arise.

What is a Parent Consultant?

  • Parent consultant is for parents who want to build a better relationship with their children by understanding the nuances of behaviour.
  • A parenting consultant is a professional educated in all things related to children and provides support and advice tailored to each family’s unique needs.
