Neurodiversity Coaching for Parents
Professional support for parents of kids with ADHD and Autism is lacking—I can help.
I partner with parents and guardians of kids who are newly diagnosed with ADHD or Autism, and transitioning to middle school, high school or college.
I understand the needs of families with newly diagnosed children, and provide support, psychoeducation and tools to help your children manage their symptoms.
My main focus is to educate parents and guardians while valuing your child, giving the child a voice that may not be easily audible, and affirming the identity of the child, while mutually working towards a goal of educational attainment, organization, homeworking systems, transition and motivation.

Resources for neurodiverse children—school, classroom, ABA—are plenty, but there isn’t enough professional parent support.
Parents and guardians like yourself are exhausted, depleted and overstimulated. You’re managing and co-regulating strong emotions, navigating clutter-filled rooms, lack of motivation, and other commonly co-occurring conditions, such as obsessive compulsive disorder and learning disabilities.

My background in child development and school systems, and an appreciation of neurodiversity, inspired me to fill this gap.
I have a doctorate in educational psychology and spent six years working within school systems, supporting students of all backgrounds, including Latino and neurodivergent students.
I saw firsthand the need for parent support, and how support it can improve outcomes for neurodiverse kids.
My training in child development, learning, teaching, play therapy, cultural and social diversity position me as a well-rounded resource for those looking for well-informed support, and inform my approach to coaching.

How I can help you navigate your child’s new ADHD or Autism diagnosis
Over a span of 3-6 months, we’ll work together to collaboratively attain your outcomes and goals.
I’ll provide psychoeducation on working within school systems and outside-the-box solutions to support your child’s unique needs, including their development and learning, emotion regulation, and equity.
You’ll receive:
-An assessment of goals and expectations
-A short-term coaching plan based on the assessment
-Clarity and confidence about your neurodiverse family with resources and support
You’ll walk away from coaching feeling understood, encouraged to accomplish your goals, and have a direction on how to navigate the future.
I look forward to hearing from you when you’re ready.
