While I support individuals through a variety of life challenges, my practice is specifically tailored to the unique stressors of parenting children with special needs. We often focus on:
Caregiver Burnout & Compassion Fatigue: Navigating the physical and emotional exhaustion that comes with long-term caregiving and advocacy.
The "Invisible" Grief: Processing the complex emotions surrounding a diagnosis, missed milestones, or the shift in the life you imagined for your family.
Anxiety & Hypervigilance: Managing the "waiting for the other shoe to drop" feeling that often accompanies medical or behavioral complexities.
Identity Reclamation: Reconnecting with your sense of self outside of being a parent, advocate, or caregiver.
Relationship Strain: Addressing the impact of high-stress parenting on marriages, partnerships, and sibling dynamics.

The first session is what we call an "intake" session, but I prefer to think of it as a collaborative discovery. My goal is to make this the one hour of your week where you don’t have to be the "expert" or the "advocate."
A Safe Landing: We’ll start by creating a comfortable space where you can share your story at your own pace. There is no "right" way to start.
Understanding Your Landscape: I’ll ask questions to understand the specific dynamics of your family, your current stressors, and what has (or hasn’t) worked for you in the past.
Goal Alignment: We’ll talk about what "better" looks like for you. Whether it’s finding ten minutes of peace a day or reshaping how you view your future, we’ll start defining our roadmap.
No Pressure: You aren't expected to have all the answers. You are here to be heard, and together, we will begin building the tools—using CBT, ACT, and Narrative techniques—that fit your actual, daily life.
