You’re exhausted. Balancing the demands of daily life while navigating parenting your neurodivergent child is draining. You’re not just a parent—you’re a case manager, a teacher, and an advocate all rolled into one. I get it. I’m a parent of three neurodivergent children. I’ve been there during the sleepless nights, the endless research, and the overwhelming interactions with a system that doesn’t always make things easy. I understand the unique challenges you face and how isolating it can feel when the usual parenting strategies and advice that just don’t work. I know what it’s like to be “in the trenches” of parenthood.
I specialize in helping parents and neurodivergent children navigate the complex challenges they face. We’ll focus on creating practical, actionable strategies that make a difference in your day-to-day life. Whether you’re managing behavioural challenges, big emotions, or feeling unheard, we’ll work together to build resilience in your family.
My goal is to provide a space where you can explore your own needs and find ways to support your child without losing yourself in the process. You’re doing an incredible job. But you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s work together to support your child—and yourself—in the way you both deserve and give you the strategies you need to thrive.
