Welcome!

I am a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, and child mental health therapist. My son has multiple diagnoses including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. He is kind, funny, witty, athletic, and caring. He has taught me patience, perseverance, the importance of laughter and love.

 

His struggles inspired me to pursue knowledge in the form of a Masters degree in Social Work and to work with kids with special needs. While I work one on one in my private practice, I realized there was so much more parents need as they figure out their own child and family. 

​

I considered offering therapeutic groups for local parents, and while I'm sure those would be helpful, during Covid times they have just not been practical. I was building a book of sorts to go along with the therapy I was providing children to help the family understand what was happening in the therapy room, and it occurred to me I could put the information online and reach a much wider audience. 

​

Thus Adaptive Parenting was born, along with the Adaptive Parenting Framework. This is not about an "expert" or "professional" telling you how to parent, this is about you deciding what parenting needs to be for your family and using a framework to guide you. On this website you can find the Adaptive Parenting Framework, along with articles and my podcast to support your decision making. Additionally, there will be a group created so you can connect directly with others in a moderated environment.

 

Keep checking back for more updates! Also, you can sign up for our email list so know when there's a new article or podcast episode available. You can also submit questions that I will attempt to answer in the podcast. I look forward to hearing from you!
