You weren’t always like this: constantly second-guessing yourself, walking on eggshells, living in fear of the next eruption.
But living in a constant state of hypervigilance has drained your confidence and rewired your brain and nervous system to expect the worst.
Now, this is your new normal.
That’s why my coaching isn’t about fixing your child — it’s about focusing on you.
When you lead from your values, regulate your nervous system, and rebuild self-trust, you become the anchor your child needs.
As a solo mom to a teen with severe autism and OCD I know what it's like to go from confident problem-solver to constantly doubting yourself.
After 18 years in the autism parenting trenches, I've learned this: You don't need to fix your child. You need to support yourself.
That's why I teach autism moms that regulation starts with you. Instead of focusing on controlling your child, I teach you the exact skills you need to dial down your nervous system responses when you feel triggered, so that you can be the steady and grounded presence your child needs.
Whether you’re reeling from a new diagnosis or have already “fallen off the services cliff” into adulthood, I help you stop reacting from fear and start responding by prioritizing your regulation first.
I was at my wit's end with my emotions and frustrations, and I felt like things were just going to get worse. Lisa had all the practical answers and challenged my thoughts in a way that felt really productive. Now, I feel more positive about myself and am able to just relax.

My feelings of guilt were leading me to act in a way that wasn't to my son's benefit. Lisa helped me let go of any self-judgment and focus on what is best for him. Now, I feel like there’s a place and a path forward, even if it won’t be linear.

I was depressed and at my lowest, thinking, 'I'm a bad mom…I can't help him.' After working with Lisa, I know how to help him through it, and I don't take it personal anymore. I'm looking forward now rather than backwards.
