Mental Health has become one of the main concerns for many parents and health officials in recent years. Trauma, addiction, and abuse have triggered a landslide of mental health issues. With over 17 years of mental health experience, Dana brings wisdom and expertise partnered with empathy and care to parents looking for more healing, connection and strategies that will create a significant impact in their family.

After working with some of the most challenging children in the Edmonton for several years not only in group homes but in hospital settings as well, Dana has faced many difficult behaviors that many parents are facing in their own homes today and understands firsthand the burden this can be for parents. In addition, Dana has worked in children’s mental health since 2006 providing triage and support to parents that were often at a loss on how to connect and bring about changes to their chaotic homes. By using a unique parenting approach that incorporates connection but also the need for structure and consistency through a “no non-sense kindness” approach, Dana will provide supportive parent coaching, parenting plans but will also facilitate parenting groups such as Circle of Security Parenting ™.
