Hi, I'm Leah

Understanding what's happening is one thing. Living it every day is another.

I support parents of neurodivergent kids when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, exhausted, or unsure of what to do next, even after reading the books, trying the strategies, and doing everything they can to help.

I know how hard it can be. The second guessing. The constant problem solving. The moments that don't make sense. The feeling that everyone else has an opinion, but you're the one living it.

As a parent of neurodivergent teens myself, I'm in this too.

Together, we can slow things down, make sense of what's happening, and find practical ways forward that fit your child, your family, and your reality.

 

We can start right where you are.

For the Parent Who's Tried Everything

When you don't know what to do next, sometimes the shift isn't about doing more. It's about seeing things differently.

You are carrying more than most people can see

 

You’re holding a lot together.

Always adjusting.
Anticipating what might happen next.

Mornings can feel heavy before the day has even started.
Getting out the door, getting to school, or deciding whether it’s even possible today.

You might be navigating an inability to acccess school, burnout, or a nervous system that’s already at capacity.
Trying to support your child while running on empty yourself.

And much of it goes unseen.

It can feel impossible to plan ahead when so much is unpredictable.
It can feel lonely when other people don’t fully understand what daily life actually takes.

Advice can sound good in theory,
but often doesn’t hold up in real life.

 

You don't have to carry all of this on your own.

How I Support You

 

Understanding what's happening is one thing. Living it every day is another.

I help parents bridge the gap between understanding neurodivergence and navigating everyday life.

Together, we work through the situations you're facing in real life. The difficult mornings, the decisions that don't have clear answers, the strategies that aren't working. 

Support doesn't have to end when our session does. Alongside our conversations, I offer options for in-between session support through messaging and voice notes, so you have someone who knows your story to turn to as new situations arise and to celebrate your wins. 

We build on our conversations over time, adjusting as things change and finding approaches that fit your child, your family, and your capacity.

 

We can start with what's happening right now.

What Begins to Change

 

You begin to find your footing again
Not perfect. But more steady, more clear, more you

 

  • Fewer meltdowns, less escalation, and less walking on eggshells in your day-to-day life.
  • You stop second guessing yourself and start trusting how you’re showing up, even in the hard moments.
  • You understand what’s happening beneath the behaviour and have a clearer sense of how to respond.
  • There’s more connection, and a deeper sense of safety between you and your child even when things aren’t going perfectly.
