If you're either a parent or in a supportive role for a child with challenging behaviors, maybe your path hasn't felt traditional.  And maybe the messages you've gotten from society and those around you are that you’re the only one feeling this way or having these challenges.

I can assure you...your path may be unique, but you’re not alone in navigating the real challenges of supporting your child & yourself while desperately longing for deeper connection & understanding in your home. I know what it’s like to:

• Never be able to watch my children play from a distance trusting they’ll be okay and others will be okay too

• Constantly get calls from school over another challenging day, shocking incident or melt down

• Have early pickups, late drop offs, or flat out school refusal be the norm

• Be scared of activities others take for granted (like driving) because of safety concerns

• Feel constantly judged by other parents because my child is out of control

And I definitely know what it’s like to stay up at night wondering if it will ever feel easier, if it will ever feel manageable, less isolating, and hoping your child will be okay.

Maybe you’ve lost friendships.

Maybe you've lost you're social circle.

Maybe you've lost family members. 

Maybe you’ve lost dreams.

All of these are challenging & heartbreaking and accompanied by very real grief.

But the deepest pain of all is wondering how your child must feel. 

I want you to know I get it!  I also want you to know there is hope!
