HELPING YOU BE THE MOM YOU WANT TO BE.
Therapy for Moms of Highly Sensitive & ND Kids Online in San Diego and Across California
You’re doing everything you can, but it still feels like too much.
some days it feels like no matter how much you give, there’s still more to manage, more to soothe, and never quite enough space to catch your breath.
You love your child deeply, and you’ve worked hard to understand their unique brain and nervous system. You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, and tried all the strategies, but most of the traditional parenting advice just doesn’t work for your kid.
You’re constantly co-regulating, managing meltdowns, anticipating triggers, and navigating the demands of school, family, and daily life. It’s exhausting, not because you’re doing something wrong, but because you’re doing so much right.
I’m here for you.
Therapy for moms of differently wired kids can help you understand your own nervous system and create more peace in your home, even when life still feels messy and unpredictable.
We’ll explore the impact of constant co-regulation, sensory overload, and the invisible mental load you carry. You’ll learn how to notice your body’s cues before you hit your breaking point, and how to create small moments of rest that actually restore you. Together, we’ll help you feel grounded and confident in a neurodivergent-affirming approach that honors your child’s needs and your own. You’ll also learn to set boundaries, release the guilt of “not doing enough,” and find ways to reconnect with yourself outside of motherhood. This isn’t about being the perfect parent, it’s about being a supported, regulated, and human one.
Feel familiar?
You feel misunderstood by friends and family who don’t get what life looks like for a differently wired kid.
You carry grief watching other families do things that feel out of reach for yours.
You feel triggered by your child’s big emotions, especially if it wasn’t safe for you to have big feelings growing up.
You want to hold space for your child’s needs, but sometimes you find yourself shutting down, yelling, or feeling waves of mom rage and shame afterward.
you don’t have to hold it all together on your own.
Therapy for moms of highly sensitive and ND kids can help you find your footing again, and remind you that you’re doing the best you can in a world that wasn’t built for your family’s needs.
Together, we’ll make space for your grief, your exhaustion, and your guilt, and also for your hope. You’ll learn how to care for your own nervous system so that co-regulating with your child doesn’t leave you completely depleted. You’ll discover ways to respond to your child’s big emotions without losing yourself in the process.
Through EMDR, Brainspotting, & Flash Technique we’ll explore how your own experiences may be showing up in motherhood. Maybe it wasn’t safe for you to cry or express anger as a kid, and now it feels overwhelming when your child does. Healing those old wounds helps you show up with more calm, empathy, and grace, for both of you.
you and your child are both learning, and you both deserve grace.
Being a mom to a differently wired child isn’t about following the rulebook, it’s about rewriting it with compassion.
