When parenting a child with special needs, unlocking the full potential of the child and finding stable ground is often a complex, confusing and exhausting process. Parents need emotional support, resources, information and parenting tools.

When we allow ourselves to have safe space to grieve and grow, we understand ourselves better and become authentically more available to our children. This creates an opportunity for us to more fully understand and embrace our children. When we learn how to support them appropriately, the whole family can begin to thrive. Plus, we can avoid establishing unhealthy behavioral patterns that can later interfere with learning and treatment.

Ms. AnaMaria knows this journey first hand, and has supported and witnessed many children and families begin to thrive as their understanding of their children grows. She is flexible in meeting the needs of parents. She meets individually with some parents, while others watch her work with their children and participate in follow-up debriefing and training sessions, and others augment their children’s individual sessions with family sessions.
