Introduction

Specializing in therapy for parents of children with medical and special needs, children and adolescents coping with medical conditions, and foster and adoptive families. Parenting a child with special needs, a medical diagnosis, or a trauma history is one of the hardest things a person can do — and one of the least talked about. The grief, the exhaustion, the guilt, the love: it's all real, and it all deserves space. As a telehealth therapist licensed in Florida, California, Illinois, Arizona, and Utah, I help you process the emotions you've been carrying, develop healthy coping strategies, and find a path forward — without ever having to leave home. Specializing in telehealth therapy for: Parents of children with special needs or medical conditions — including autism, chronic illness, and developmental disabilities Foster and adoptive parents — navigating attachment, trauma, and the emotional weight of the system Children and teens (ages 9–17) with chronic medical conditions, anxiety, depression, or neurodivergence Grief therapy for families processing loss, diagnosis, or life transitions
