Relationship and Growth Coaching

What My Clients Say

"After discovering my husband's potential neurodiversity, I was looking for educational material. I came across Anne's course on Udemy, which shockingly well described my circumstances! The extended course material clarified my major confusions and sorted out possibilities and expectations."However, I still felt heartbroken, shattered and alone with this new knowledge and situation, not able to make sense of my life and how to navigate a neurodiverse marriage without being forced to shut down my emotions."That was when I decided to reach out to Anne for one-on-one coaching and this was the best gift I could offer myself at this difficult time. Over the next few months, regular conversations with her helped me find mental clarity and move forward. Anne's style is to allow you to choose your own path and she works with you, step-by-step, to achieve your full potential."Anne guided me on how to deal with my own emotions and re-discover my personal worth and confidence. She patiently offered not only a listening ear but years of personal experience and professional research knowledge. It's difficult to find a specialist in the area of neurodiverse couples. Anne, however, is not a typical expert or therapist on this topic. She will ground you in reality, remind you over and over about the nuances of neurodiverse marriage, and does not promise miracle changes in the marriage dynamics. Her approach is optimistic and solution-based, so she will not tell you to 'lower your expectations,' like many therapists do, but will encourage you and support you in your own decisions."I highly recommend Anne's services to anyone who is lost in the intricacy of a neurodiverse relationship."- AnonymousNOTE: Anne is not a licensed therapist. She is a trained coach who has a master's in psychology.

Parenting Coaching for ASD Clients

Parenting Coaching for ASD Clients

Co-parenting coaching doesn't work as well for neurodiverse couples as it does for neurotypical couples. Sometimes it even increases conflict and makes parenting more difficult. Yet most of my ASD clients love their children and want to develop deep, meaningful relationships with them.I offer individualized parenting coaching for the ASD partner. The goal is to support my ASD clients in understanding how to best manage their parenting time and build strong, lasting relationships with their children. Some of my clients are still married; others are going through divorce or are first managing the challenge of parenting alone.
