Sound like you?

Parenting is always demanding—but when you’re raising a child or teen with extra layers of need, the pressure can feel relentless. When your child has medical needs, developmental differences, emotional struggles, or requires constant monitoring or advocacy, the weight becomes something very few people truly understand.

Afraid your child’s needs are more than you can possibly keep up with?

You’re doing everything you can.
You’re showing up, rearranging your life, and pushing through the exhaustion because you love your child fiercely.

But the truth you rarely say out loud is this:
It’s a lot.
 And some days, it feels like too much.

Maybe you’re:

Juggling appointments, crises, calls from school,

or therapies that fill your entire schedule

Always “on” even at night.

Listening for the slightest sound or watching for the smallest shift

Trying to stay patient, calm, and present

while your internal world feels stretched thin

Hiding how hard it is because you don’t want to be

judged or misunderstood

Feeling resentful one moment and guilty the next

Worrying you’ll miss something important, mess something up,

or that your child will fall through the cracks

And underneath all of it is a quiet fear:
How long can I keep doing this?

And is it just this hard because I am not enough?

You’re not weak.
You’re not failing.
You’re a parent navigating circumstances that would overwhelm anyone.

You deserve support that recognizes the reality of what you’re carrying—without minimizing it or offering surface-level advice.

My Approach to Supporting Parents

For over 20 years, I’ve worked closely with children, teens, parents, and families in many different settings—and I’m also a mom with complex kids. I understand the mix of love, fear, responsibility, and exhaustion that comes with raising a child who needs more.

Here’s what you can expect in our sessions:

  • Steady, honest conversations. No judgment, no pressure. Just a grounded space to sort through what is going on and often to get some ideas of options for approaching things.

  • Deep understanding. I listen for what’s beneath the surface, the part of your story most people overlook or minimize.

  • Clarity about what’s helping and what isn’t. We’ll review what you’ve already tried—books, podcasts, strategies—and figure out what truly fits your life, not someone else’s.

  • A blend of trauma-informed support and practical tools. We work both on the internal load you carry and the external challenges you face every day.

  • Work at your pace. This isn’t another demand on your list. It’s a place for you to breathe and recalibrate.

    You already know you’re not doing it perfectly—there is no perfect here. What you need is space with someone who understands the messy reality of parenting in complex situations. Space to sort out what you need, what’s been wearing on you, and how to move through all of this without losing yourself or feeling like you’re failing your child.

    This isn’t about perfect parenting.
    It’s about sustainable parenting—where you can be present, patient, and grounded because you aren’t constantly running on empty.

Progress is possible.

Your well-being matters too.

EMDR

Using EMDR for Ongoing Traumatic Stress can be a powerful approach for parenting complex kids. This evidence based intervention can help you recover from recent events and the ongoing demands that you face.

INTENSIVES

Finding time for weekly therapy can feel impossible. EMDR intensives offer a way to make meaningful progress without adding another weekly commitment to your already full schedule. Intensives also allow for those from a different region or state to attend focused, in-person sessions.

  • This work is for you. Parents often need a place to process the stress, uncertainty, grief, and constant problem-solving that come with raising a child with extra needs. When you feel clearer and more supported, the whole family benefits.

  • No. Many parents come to therapy long before there’s a diagnosis—or without one at all. What matters is that you’re carrying a lot, and you deserve support whether or not your child fits into a specific category.

  • It’s completely normal to worry about that. We go at a pace that feels manageable. You won’t be pushed into anything too big or too fast. My job is to support you—not make you feel overwhelmed.

  • Not at all. Loving your child AND struggling with the weight of their needs can both be true. Acknowledging the hard parts doesn’t diminish your love—it helps you cope with the reality of what you’re carrying.

  • I work with any parent or caregiver who is managing high levels of stress, whether they are co-parenting, single parenting, or in a blended family.

  • Yes. Even when the circumstances don’t change, your stress level, clarity, boundaries, and emotional stamina can. Therapy helps you respond with more regulation, less guilt, and a clearer sense of what’s realistic.

  • I tailor therapy to what’s realistic for you. Some parents prefer weekly sessions, while others benefit from intensives that allow for deeper progress in a shorter period of time. Together, we’ll choose an approach that fits your life and your needs.
