Autism Parenting Support
Make Your Autism Parenting Journey Lighter and More Joyful
Hi, I’m Brigitte. I’m here to help you move through your challenging emotions, areas of difficulty, and equip you with tools and strategies on your autism parenting journey so that you can start feeling more joy and at peace and be fully present with your child with autism.
You can shift your emotions and help your child thrive.
How you feel greatly affects your child, whether you realize it or not. It’s in your and your child’s best interest to take care of your well-being!
I will help you walk through grief and give you tools and strategies to restore joy and enjoy your journey with your child on the spectrum.
Working with me is right for you if you are:
Overwhelmed with a sense of grief
Feeling Scared for your child’s future
Feeling lost about the next right step
Struggling to be present with your child
I’ve been on this autism parenting journey for 31 years with my son Joseph who is on the spectrum. I offer my support as a fellow mother and as a certified Martha Beck life coach to help you raise your child with joy, resilience, and more enjoyment!
You can come back to the joy of parenting even with the devastating diagnosis of autism of your child.
Love from Parents
“ I was so overwhelmed and exhausted by many facets of my life. She helped me deal with my feelings about my son's autism diagnosis that I hadn't really processed. Brigette helped me most with letting go of the guilt from his delayed diagnosis and the feeling that I should have done something more, differently, or sooner.”

“Whether you are just starting your journey or knee-deep in it like me, it's a good way to let all your fears out and get great advice from someone who understands it."
— Brie Justice
“Brigette comes to this work with both heart and mind. She has the knowledge, experience, and background to assist mothers of autistic children on this both unique and challenging path and she does this with genuine care and support. I worked with Brigette in my own grief process and felt we quickly connected on multiple levels. I also felt and feel her support is there if and when I need it. Thank you Brigette for doing what you do. There are so many of us that need and benefit from the cherished work you do in this world.”
— Dr. Nicole Dolan
"Working with Brigitte this past year was transformative and I am very, very grateful. She helped me find a better way of being a mother to an autistic child. I learned how to prioritize, accept, not feel guilty, and how to view my child in a better way. Brigitte is kind, knowledgeable, and has a wealth of experience in this area. Thank you, Brigitte!"

I provide a safe place for my clients to share their fears and struggles—I’ve been there and it’s a non-judgmental, compassionate space.
The bulk of the work we do together is to help you manage your emotions that are weighing you down, whether it’s fear, grief, anger, or overwhelm.
I help you bring a lot more ease to the autism parenting journey with a huge dose of self-compassion. This journey can be extremely challenging (I know, I’ve been there!) and I bring a deep understanding of the pain and compassionate support that you need.
Not everyone understands your pain. Not everyone has the tools to support you.
You’ll find a safe space with me with one-on-one coaching.
Working with me is right for you if:
You are serious about being your best self to show up fully for your child
You are committed to doing the inner work
You are ready to prioritize and get support for yourself
You are ready to invest in yourself emotionally, physically, and financially
Working with me is NOT right for you if:
You want help in changing your child’s behavior
You’re looking for quick solutions without having to do the inner work
You are NOT ready to prioritize and get support for yourself
You are NOT ready to invest in yourself emotionally, physically, or financially
