Helping parents navigate the challenges of medically complex caregiving.

Coaching that helps parents manage stress, prevent burnout, and create a life that feels manageable and meaningful.

You've Found Your Village

It’s no accident you’re here — and I’m so glad you found your way.

If you’re struggling to navigate life as a parent of a child with special needs, medical complexity, or high support needs, I want you to know this first: you are not alone, and you are not failing. If you feel depleted, overwhelmed, unsure of what comes next, or disconnected from the person you used to be, I see you — because I have been you.

Parenting a child with complex needs is hard. The kind of hard that reshapes your daily life, your relationships, your identity, and your future. Too often, parents are expected to figure everything out on their own — without enough guidance, support, or understanding. Marriages feel strained. Siblings feel the impact. And life can begin to feel more like survival than living.

There’s a reason we say, “It takes a village to raise a child.” For special needs families, that truth runs especially deep. That’s where I come in. As a parent of a child with multiple diagnoses and complex medical and developmental needs, I bring lived experience. As a former educator with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and years of experience supporting families, I bring professional knowledge. As a coach and advocate, I bring structure, compassion, and practical strategies.

Together, we’ll create a personalized path forward — one that supports your child’s needs, your family’s well-being, and your own mental and emotional health. Through coaching, advocacy support, and customized action plans, I help parents move from burnout and uncertainty to clarity, confidence, and sustainable strength.

You don’t have to do this alone anymore.

Why Special Needs Parent Coaching?

Is your marriage suffering due to the stress of parenting a child with special needs?

Studies have shown that the stress of caring for a child with special needs, combined with financial strain, lack of social support, and other challenges, can take a toll on the parents' relationship. In fact, a study published in the Journal of Family Psychology in 2016 found that parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities were more likely to report marital distress and lower levels of marital satisfaction than parents of children without disabilities.

Are you overwhelmed by the everyday tasks of keeping up with a job, a home, a family AND your child's medical condition?

Many parents of children with special needs daydream about cloning themselves. Between increased demands, emotional stress, financial strain, and lack of support, it's easy to see how day to day living can take a toll. Children with special needs often require more attention, care, and support than typically developing children. Extra medical appointments, therapies, or educational interventions require time and resources that can leave parents feeling stretched thin and overwhelmed. Not to mention the guilt. Guilt that they're not getting it all done, not present enough for their typically developing children or for their spouse.

Are you having difficulty obtaining adequate medical and/or educational resources for your child?

Depending on where you live, programs and resources for children with special needs can vary greatly. Parents of children with special needs can face several challenges when seeking appropriate resources including lack of relevant knowledge, limited access due to location or lack of transportation, financial barriers, long wait lists or limited availability of professional help, especially if the child has a rare or complex condition.

Do you struggle with loneliness or isolation due to your child's condition?

Parents of children with special needs often have to dedicate a significant amount of time to their child's care, which can limit their ability to socialize and connect with others. This isolation can make them feel lonely and disconnected from the outside world. In addition, stigma and lack of understanding surrounding special needs can lead to social isolation as others may not understand or know how to interact with children with special needs. This can affect both long-standing relationships as well as the parent's ability to foster new relationships. The emotional toll of caring for a child with special needs can run the gamut from stress and anxiety to grief and depression and is often difficult to share with others.
