Along the way, certain challenges arise to cause us distress or confusion. Such moments can make us feel held back, afraid, or unsure of where to go from here. But these moments can also be the points of growth and healing from which we renew ourselves in ways we did not think possible.

What's happening for you? Is something blocking or distressing you - interfering in your life? Is it a habit, a feeling, a nagging question, or a disaster? Is it a disconnect with someone?

Parenting is hard. Parenting a special needs child is harder. Kids don't come with owner's manuals. If your child happens to have special needs, the situation is often confusing. You want nothing more than to help your child. It's what we do when our children are struggling. Sometimes you just don't know what to do to help. It can leave feeling helpless. You are not alone. I know from personal and professional experience what it takes to make major changes. No matter the nature of his struggle, be it autism, adhd, or some other challenge, you can help your child.

I have experience working with individuals with trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, self-image concerns, relationship hurdles, and religious trauma.
