As a mother of a child with multiple disabilities, Sara has a special place in her heart for families with special needs children. Sara is familiar with the grief, stress and everyday struggles associated with a special needs child and the stress this can create for parents and family. Sara helps families through the grieving process, helps them to adapt and accept their new life and gives them tools to help alleviate the stress.

Because we all deal with stress and grief in different ways, marriages are very often affected. Sara can help spouses learn to communicate their feelings to one another in a positive way, so they can support one another through this new phase in their marriage.

Siblings of special needs children have their own special needs. They often experience a mixture of emotions: grief, guilt, fear, jealousy, anger and anxiety. Siblings don’t know what to do with these emotions – they know Mom & Dad are already upset. Sara can help your child work through these emotions and learn to communicate them in a healthy way.

Sara has experience working with families with children diagnosed with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down’s Syndrome, developmental delays and many others. Sara not only relates to your personal challenges as a family, she also understands the stress associated with navigating the education system.
