The Problem isn't You or Your Child
It’s The Strategies You’ve Been Told to Use
Parenting a neurodivergent child doesn’t come with a rulebook and traditional strategies often fall short. I help parents understand what does work (and why), so you can move from exhaustion and constant worry to clarity and peace even when things still feel uncertain.
Feel calmer, more confident, and less reactive even when your child is struggling.
Understand your child’s behaviors through a neurodivergent lens, so you know how to respond effectively.
Support your child’s growth and independence without pushing them too hard or backing off too much.
When Nothing You Try Seems to Work
You’ve read the books and tried the strategies. Given consequences, used praise, and offered incentives. Sometimes something works but not for long. You’re trying so hard to do right by your child, but nothing seems to stick.
When you push too hard, you feel guilty. When you back off, it feels like giving up especially when you know your child has so much potential. You’re stuck in a cycle of effort and uncertainty, wondering what you’re missing.
- You’re exhausted from trying to “motivate” a child who shuts down or resists help.
- You worry they’ll never become independent or that they’ll crash and burn when they try.
- You feel alone, like no one else really gets what you’re going through.
Parenting Gets Easier
When You Understand What You’re Actually Dealing With
You don’t need more tough love or better consequences. You need a framework grounded in neurodivergent needs, not neurotypical expectations. When you shift how you see your child, everything else starts to shift too.
Understand Your
Child’s Brain
Learn what’s underneath the resistance, avoidance, or emotional dysregulation. When you understand your child through a neurodivergent lens, their behavior makes more sense and you know what to do next.
Find Your
Parenting Balance
You don’t have to choose between pushing too hard or stepping back and feeling like you’re giving up. Learn how to support your child with clarity and confidence without second-guessing every decision.
Support Long-Term Independence
You’re not enabling them by meeting them where they are. You’re helping them build real skills at their pace, with your guidance. That’s how independence actually develops.
You're Not Alone
And You’re Not the Problem
I work with families who’ve done everything “right” and still feel stuck. I’m a psychiatrist, a certified life coach, and I’m also a parent. I know how exhausting it is when nothing seems to help, and how easy it is to wonder if you’re the problem. You’re not. You just need a new way to understand and support your child. I can help.

You’re Not Supposed to Have This All Figured Out
You want to be the kind of parent who truly knows how to help your neurodivergent child thrive. You’ve done the research, tried the strategies, and still feel like something’s missing. Nothing is missing. Your child’s needs are different.
Traditional parenting approaches often fall short for neurodivergent kids. They don’t account for nervous system differences, sensory sensitivities, or the invisible challenges your child faces every day. That mismatch can leave you feeling stuck, second-guessing yourself, and wondering what else to do.
I’ve worked with so many families in this exact spot and I’ve been there too. Together, we’ll shift how you see your child, how you respond, and how you support their growth so you can move forward with more calm and clarity, even when things are still hard.
