About My Clients
You remember a time when fighting about family boundaries or parenting strategies weren’t the “norm” but those days feel like a distant memory. Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that? I help people just like you: ones that have it within them to create unity and peace in their home by equipping them with the tools they need to set reasonable expectations and embrace the inevitable chaos of life with neurodivergence in the home.
My Background and Approach
First, we will examine the relational dynamics or parenting styles that are causing discord in the marriage. Then, we discuss communication strategies and accommodations that will be most effective for your situation. Through our work together, you’ll create consistency and cohesion in the home. My training in parenting and communication means I have the expertise you need and deserve when working through the complexities of a marriage impacted by neurodivergence or cultural differences in the home. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a tired parent fighting with your partner about how to handle the day to day. I get it because I am a late identified neurodivergent adult and we have a complex mix of needs and culture clashes in our home. When we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist. You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Many of today’s solutions for couples with neurodivergent partners or children are based on outdated stereotypes that pathologize neurodivergent individuals as a problem to be fixed, leading so many to feel confused and helpless. I know that your circumstances are unique, so I will support your goals by providing empathic and affirming support aimed at highlighting strengths and accommodating (not punishing) deficits. I have experience working with individuals and couples dealing with inter-racial/multi-cultural issues, ADHD, Autism and PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance/Pervasive Drive for Autonomy).
