All of our children are so very unique and constantly changing. Sometimes they need a helping hand to keep them moving along to thrive in their relationships and connections with others; or to develop strategies to support emotional regulation, social skills, life skills, anxiety reduction, concentration and focus, or processing of traumatic events. Throughout the process, parent /caregiver participation is a key component when it comes to working with children. My long-standing experience with neurodiverse children, youth, and their families will provide you with the reassurance you need to move forward.

Even in the best of circumstances change is hard. Unwanted or unexpected change can be even harder to accept. Often during life’s difficult transitions (e.g. grief, loss, divorce, new baby) you’re left feeling lonely, confused and even out of control. Things you once enjoyed may now feel overwhelming and stressful. Many of my clients complain of feeling exhausted, overcome with intense emotions and a general feeling of being "stuck". If you've been trying your best to navigate this alone but aren't seeing the results you want, help is here for you.

Your life feels like it is falling apart and you are being pulled in so many different directions. Your employer needs you; your family needs you, and so do your friends. You feel overwhelmed, defeated, anxious, and depressed. You are trying to hold it all together but it is catching up to you and you can’t do it anymore. You give so much to everyone else and there is nothing left of you. You have lost yourself and you just can’t cope anymore.
