Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, burned out because of dealing with your special needs, autistic or ADHD child? Or maybe you have a neurodivergent condition yourself or trauma to work through. Are you wondering if life will ever feel good again? Frustrated at the lack of answers to all this chaos and pain? As a mom with some ADHD, trauma and neurodivergent children myself, I know the struggle is real. Let's walk together in it and work together to find solutions that help family life flow more smoothly and bring you all a sense of peace. We will collaborate to help you find your own best solutions, and navigate challenges, together.
My approach is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, collaborative, holistic and direct. Learn to hope again and regain a sense of joy, instead of having to emotionally disconnect just to get through the day. Change is possible. Come away after a session feeling empowered and strengthened, ready to face the day and your family again.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you have spent much of your life feeling misunderstood, dismissed, or stuck in survival mode. You do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported while also helping you move toward meaningful and practical change.

For ADHD, therapy helps with motivation, impulsivity, emotional regulation, and executive functioning. For autism, therapy is centered on helping clients better understand themselves. We explore sensory needs, burnout, emotional regulation, relationships, communication and holistic approaches. For trauma, understanding survival responses, creating safety and healthier coping mechanisms is first.
