Some days, just getting out of bed feels like climbing a mountain. The idea of leaving the house? It can feel impossible—like it takes every ounce of energy just to exist.

Your body might feel tense or heavy, like you're carrying something you can’t quite put down. Maybe you're constantly on edge, trying to keep it all together, afraid that if you let go for even a second, the tears will come and you won’t be able to stop them.

If any of this sounds familiar, I want you to know—you’re not broken. This is what it can feel like to live with depression, anxiety, or both. And you don’t have to go through it alone. There’s help, and there’s hope.

You’ve been doing your absolute best to be a loving, attentive parent—but no matter what you try, it still feels like you're falling short. Maybe you’ve even caught yourself thinking, “I’m the worst parent ever.”

Your child is often overwhelmed or dysregulated, and it feels like you're constantly walking on eggshells, unsure of what might set them off next. You might feel disconnected, exhausted, or even angry—and then guilty for feeling that way.

I want you to know: you're not alone, and you're not a bad parent.

I'm here to support you in finding your way back to connection—with your child and with yourself. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s really going on underneath the surface and build a path forward that feels more peaceful, more grounded, and more connected.

You’ve landed in Holland... but your heart still aches for Italy.

You know the message—"Holland has tulips too." You’ve heard the encouragements and well-meaning reminders. But if you’re being honest, you just can’t stop thinking about Italy—the dreams you had, the expectations, the life you thought you and your child would have. And that ache? It doesn’t just go away.

Parenting a disabled or neurodivergent child is beautiful—but it’s also really hard. You’re doing your best to show up, to keep it together, to be everything your child needs. But some days, the sadness hits hard. Or the anger. Or the deep loneliness. And then, you look around—at birthday parties, at playgrounds, at school drop-offs—and you’re reminded all over again that your child is different. That your journey looks different. And that can hurt.

I want you to know this: You’re not doing it wrong. You’re not a bad parent for grieving. You can love your child endlessly and still feel the weight of how hard this road is.

Life with a neurodivergent child is just as rich, just as meaningful, and just as full of beauty as life with a neurotypical one—it’s just a different kind of beautiful. And that beauty doesn’t cancel out the hard stuff. They exist together. Side by side.

You're not alone in this. And your feelings? They make sense.

Lately, it feels like you’re always playing catch-up—like no matter how hard you try, you're constantly one step behind. You feel scattered, overwhelmed, maybe even a little out of control. People around you—your friends, your family—have started pointing it out: you seem more reactive, more irritable. And deep down, you know they’re right.

You’re arguing more. Little things set you off. You’re frustrated, tired, and making mistakes you normally wouldn’t. And then there’s your body—tight shoulders, back pain, pounding headaches, maybe your blood pressure’s climbing. But you’re so caught in survival mode, you barely even notice anymore.

Your mind and body feel completely out of sync, and all you really know is that something just feels... off.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. It’s not a personal failure—it’s your body and mind waving a red flag, asking for care and space to breathe. You don’t have to keep pushing through. There’s support, and there’s a way back to feeling more like you again.

Are you a teen or young adult who feels like you have to be perfect all the time? Do you catch yourself wondering, “Who am I?” or “Where do I fit in?” Maybe you feel unsure of who you are, like you’re stuck between trying to be what others expect and figuring out what you actually want.

You might feel misunderstood—like no one really gets what you’re going through. Maybe you're making choices that others don’t approve of, but you're just trying to cope or find your place in the world.

If this sounds like you, please know this: you’re not alone. The teen and young adult years are some of the toughest to navigate—full of pressure, change, and big questions about identity, purpose, and belonging.

I’m here to hold space for you. A space where you can talk honestly, without judgment, and begin to sort through all the thoughts and feelings you're carrying. Together, we’ll work on building your confidence, improving how you see yourself, and finding healthy ways to manage everything life is throwing at you.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
