Therapy for Parenting That Centers You
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience supporting complex and complicated children and their families. At Welcome Home Family Therapy, I work with parents of neurodivergent children—gifted, 2e, adopted, sensory-sensitive, ADHD, and on the Autism spectrum.
Parenting therapy with me isn’t about giving you another to-do list. It’s about helping you feel more grounded, more supported, and more equipped to lead your child from a place of connection, not control.

A Unique Approach for Parents of Neurodivergent Children
Science Meets Compassion
My approach blends the science of how brains and bodies respond to stress with the deep emotional work of parenting from a place of empathy. Here's how I help:
- Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB): Understand how your brain and your child’s brain interact in moments of conflict.
- Polyvagal Theory: Learn how to move out of fight-or-flight and into calm, connected parenting.
- Trauma-Informed Therapy: Explore how your past might be showing up in your parenting today.
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Unwind the beliefs and guilt that make this journey feel even harder.

FAQ's
What is the difference between an ADHD therapist and a parenting coach?
An ADHD therapist supports you clinically and emotionally, helping you rewire long-held stress patterns and explore what’s happening under the surface—not just behavior management. We work on regulation, attachment, and healing—not just tactics.

If you're feeling constantly overwhelmed, snapping at your child, or doubting yourself daily—therapy can help. You don’t have to be in crisis. If you’re exhausted from carrying the mental load, this space is for you.
Does online ADHD therapy in California really work?
Yes. Online therapy allows you to receive consistent, personalized support without driving, arranging childcare, or adding stress. I work with parents throughout California from the comfort of their own home.
Is this therapy for my child or for me?
This is for you. While your child may benefit indirectly, this space is for your growth, your nervous system, your clarity, and your healing.
