 Parents and Caregivers

Let's be real... parenting is hard and admitting that it's hard doesn't mean you love your kids any less. It's hard to watch them struggle at home, at school, and in the community... It's hard because sometimes you're not sure how to help them. You know that your child wants to do well, but they struggle with meeting the world’s expectations. No-one seems to really get what it's like for them, or for you, and you feel alone in your quest to better understand.

Well, I have great news. I get you. I have felt all these things. I, too, am a parent of neurodivergent children. I am also an educator, counselor, and coach with over 25 years of experience working with autistic individuals and parents. I love joining with parents on their quest. And even more great news, you know more than you think you do. So now what?

Let's explore together, in-person, video OR phone! (a new and unique service) to learn more about their amazing brains, explore their needs (and strengths) by using the power of observation and collaborating with your child to create supportive strategies that work for them, and to promote supportive self-advocacy and independence. After all, it's not always about "behavior".

• Do you have a Neurodivergent child (Autistic, ADHD, Sensory Sensitive, Anxious....) and want to learn more about their Neurodivergence to better understand them? 
• Do you want to learn strategies that support and advocate for their needs?

IF SO, You have come to the right place!

I am an educator, counselor, coach, and speaker but most importantly, I am a proud parent of neurodivergent children.

I offer individuals and families Counseling and SpeciALTy Coaching experiences focusing on neurodivergent individuals;  

• Autism 
• ADHD 
• Anxiety 
• Sensory Sensitivities 
• Learning disabilities, etc..   

These individuals are often described as having "behavioral challenges" by the neurotypical world. 

I focus on helping you to explore and better understand your child's unique neurotype their unique needs. 

Not only do I work directly with individuals and families, I also offer consultation and trainings discussing and teaching  about various topics pertaining to parenting or working with, and better understanding, neurodivergent individuals.

 As many have said, "Dena Gets it".
