MEET KIRSTY

Biography

With over two decades of experience working with children and families, I bring a unique perspective to parenting facilitation. After 12 years in the classroom, I transitioned into high school counseling, which inspired me to pursue professional counseling credentials. Now, I work directly with students in schools and with families in private practice, offering both therapeutic support and parenting facilitation services.

As a parent myself, I understand that parenting is not an exact science—it's a journey filled with challenges, stressors, and conflicts. Some arise from our own experiences, others are self-created, and many stem from external pressures.

Navigating the complexities of family dynamics, especially within the legal system, can feel overwhelming.

My role as a parenting facilitator is to bring clarity to these situations, helping parents find effective solutions while fostering healthier communication. Whether you're in the midst of family transitions or navigating court-connected challenges, my goal is to help speed up problem-solving and guide you through the process with care and understanding.
