Each family is unique, but some have exceptional needs. As a mom of kids with special issues, and having worked in special education for decades, I understand the needs of exceptional families. I love working with children on grief, anxiety, self-esteem, social skills, etc; parents struggling with their child's diagnosis will appreciate my understanding and ability to provide concrete steps to improve coping. Recently, I have obtained my certificate in Independent Educational Consulting and have immersed myself in the world of college admissions, & provide college counseling for teens, including those with disabilities.
Services include: Parent coaching; individual therapy for children 10+; therapy with adults for parenting, grief, & stress management; counseling for wives with spouses on the spectrum; college application and career counseling packages for teens.
If you're exhausted, anxious, not sure what to do for yourself or your child, I can help. We can set goals for your teen's education or your toddlers tantrums, or build resiliency & coping skills to help with the special circumstances life has thrown at you. It would be a privilege to serve you and your family. Please contact me for a free consultation.
