My approach will help you:

  • Build coping skills and give you the tools to manage and control stress 

  • Help you access support networks and develop self-care regimens


Being a parent of a special needs child is one of life’s most challenging tasks.  Although many rise to the occasion and consider the blessings of nurturing their child, the stress levels are tenfold in comparison to raising a “typical” child. 

Parents of special needs children are at greater risk of depression, anxiety, marital tension and other health related concerns due to the magnitude of stress in their lives. 

With support and an action plan in place to reduce stress, special needs parents and their families can experience balance and emotional wellness, despite the demands at hand.
