Parent Coaching

My mission is to support YOU-incredible parents of children with special needs to navigate life and (re)discover joy in the parenting process.

​

The gap- it's rogue, but is it? And why is it? Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with some of the most incredible, self-less, brave, and dedicated parents of children with special needs. It is evident to me they have a deep, profound love for their child and would do anything to help them be successful. I have also found there to be a common thread woven in their experiences of raising their child- very limited support for them as parents. Unfortunately, I have seen more parents in a perpetual state of crisis than is healthy for them or their child. Seeking answers. Trying to fix things. Panicked. Driving from therapy session to therapy session. Stressed. Exhausted. Overwhelmed. Numb. 

 

What if we took the focus off of the child and put the love and support on parents? Allowing them to feel seen and be heard with their unique lived experiences. Giving parents a space to process the obstacles associated with their child's diagnosis. Helping them juggle the many roles they play in their families, work environments, and communities. Allowing families to be families first. Just imagine how that could support your child.

​

In my approach to therapy, we'll explore your nervous system first. The intricate system that guides your everyday life. We will explore habits, behaviors, actions, and thoughts that keep you stuck, while bringing awareness to the ones that move you forward. These patterns begin deep in the body as sensations before they ever become an emotion, a story, or the outcome. This, my friends, is the felt sense and where the magic happens. You already have this, and I will help you access it. When we get out of our heads and into our bodies, real shift happens. We notice more. We listen. We settle. We become more self-aware. And from this regulated state, your life transforms... and so will your family's.

 

So why 'therapy' for me?

​

Because parenting is hard, and parenting a child with special needs is next level.

Because you deserve a special place to be vulnerable, feel understood, and be held.

Because your nervous system directly feeds your child's nervous system,

& the beauty is when you take care of yourself, you have the capacity to take care of your child.
