NEURODIVERGENT PARENTING
Empower yourself. Empower your child.
how i can help
Understanding your neurodivergent child or teen will help you connect and build a strong relationship.
Let’s be honest. Raising children is hard. Add in the needs of a neurodivergent child, and parenting can feel impossible and overwhelming. And sometimes just a little bit frustrating. ;)
During therapy, we’ll spend time uncovering your child’s special needs and strengths. We’ll work on identifying concrete actions that will facilitate growth in your family. We’ll also address the areas that require acceptance and compassion.
Depending on what brought you to therapy, we can work on problem-solving sticky behavior issues and develop methods for addressing future problems. We will work on empowering you with effective tools so that you feel confident about your parenting and can concentrate on connecting with your child.
I’ll help your family through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances.
You can feel confident in how you raise your kids.
Let’s work together so your family can function better.
imagine if you were able to…
Stay calm and centered when your child is emotional
Emotional regulation can be challenging for neurodivergent kids, and parents often bear the brunt of the wild emotions. Understanding why this is happening and how to handle these situations will help you no matter what age or stage your child is going through.
Advocate for your child
Neurodivergent kids have unique needs and the more they are able to get the necessary help, the better off they are. Parents are often confused about what services their child needs. We will work together to streamline this process so you feel less overwhelmed.
Understand how to communicate with your child better
Learning more about how to communicate with your child effectively is essential. After all, you will be communicating with them their whole life. It is frustrating to talk to someone and feel they are tunning you out or don’t understand what you are saying. We will work together to learn more effective communication methods with your child.
Make daily life easier by making small changes
Daily life doesn’t have to be a struggle, but it can feel that way if your child is constantly having issues at home or school. Their moods and actions affect the whole family, and it is common for parents to feel exhausted or burnt out. We’ll highlight key actions that can shift the dynamics!
