Raising a Neurodivergent Child is a Journey—You Don’t Have to Walk It Alone
 

Parenting is already challenging, but raising a neurodivergent child adds an entirely new layer of complexity.

Whether you and your partner are both neurodivergent, one of you is autistic or has ADHD, or you’re a neurotypical couple trying to understand your child’s unique needs, the journey can feel overwhelming.

​

Many parents come to me feeling:
 

• Lost in conflicting parenting advice – Wondering if they should push for structure or allow flexibility, encourage independence or provide extra support.
   

• Exhausted from constant advocacy – Fighting for accommodations in school, educating family members, and managing meltdowns while feeling like no one understands.
   

• At odds with their partner – Disagreeing on discipline, emotional regulation, or how much to intervene, leaving them feeling like they’re parenting alone.
   

• Guilty or second-guessing themselves – Wondering if they’re doing enough, if they’re expecting too much or too little, or if they’re making the right choices.
   

• Emotionally and physically drained – Juggling doctor’s appointments, therapy schedules, school meetings, and household responsibilities with no time left for themselves or their relationship.
   

I know this struggle personally because I’m living it too.

I am a parent raising a neurodivergent child, learning every day how to navigate a world that wasn’t built for their needs.

I also know how important it is to have support—not just for your child, but for yourself and your relationship.
 

Through therapy, I help parents and couples find balance, work as a team, and build a family dynamic that honors everyone’s needs—including their own.
