Navigating the Journey with Confidence

A new diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I provide compassionate guidance and educational resources to help you understand your child’s needs and build a supportive environment at home.

  • Understanding neurodivergence and what it means for your child.

  • Learning effective parenting strategies tailored to your child’s unique strengths and challenges.

  • Managing feelings of grief, confusion, or stress that can come with a new diagnosis.

Building Advocacy & Support Networks

As a parent, you are your child’s greatest advocate. I help you develop advocacy skills to ensure your child receives the support they need in school, healthcare, and social settings.

  • Understanding IEPs and 504 Plans to navigate school accommodations.

  • Learning to communicate effectively with teachers, therapists, and medical professionals.

  • Connecting with local and online parent support communities.
