Parenting is one of the most challenging jobs and yet it can feel so hard to reach out for support. In reaching out, you can receive guidance in building your confidence in your parenting practices and decrease feelings of burnout and burden. Ana supports caregivers, children and youth in building their understanding of their emotional needs and in developing healthy strategies and tools that can be helpful in increasing connection, regulation and decreasing the need for maladaptive coping strategies. Ana uses different therapeutic approaches, including EFFT, DBT and CBT in her practice.

These approaches provide the appropriate tools needed to repair and heal one's mental health symptoms, family dynamics and it equips families with the appropriate tools in achieving their goals.
