Therapist Overview
Are you parenting children or adults with special needs, disabilities, delays, chronic illness, or medical complexity? I work with Special Parents in Connecticut every day, and I am concerned about the increased stress and intensity of care-giving under Corona-virus restrictions. Please don’t go it alone! I can meet with you online, to provide support to see you and your loved ones through this time. I focus attention on Special Parents, because I know our lives (yes, me too!) were already challenging. Under new circumstances, without the routines and supports we had in place, we will all need more. As a trauma therapist, I see Special Parents endure prolonged, severe stress, often punctuated with episodes involving life-and-death risks for our kids. We do this with minimal help, surprising criticism and judgment, and little access to systems that support more typical parents. This can lead to symptoms of chronic stress and trauma, usually unrecognized. From your own home, during time
