Does this sound familiar?
-
Your child has been misread, misdiagnosed, or labeled "difficult."
-
Therapy didn't help, and now your child dreads it.
-
No one has shown you what support actually looks like at home.
-
You and your partner handle things differently, and it's causing tension.
-
Mornings, homework and bedtime feel like a daily battle.
​
You're not failing. Neurodivergent kids need a different kind of support, and so do their parents.
Parenting while navigating ADHD, autism, stress, trauma, or anxiety can add unique challenges to relationships. I am here to support families through these experiences.
How I help
Whole-family coaching I work with kids and parents separately and together. Your child gets a safe space to be understood. You get practical tools for home. Then we bring it together so everyone speaks the same language.
​
Parent coaching Get on the same page with your co-parent. Learn to respond to meltdowns and shutdowns with calm and confidence. Protect your relationship while you parent through hard seasons.
​
Executive function coaching Concrete tools for time, planning, focus and follow-through, built around how your brain works. For kids, teens and adults.
​
Support for neurodivergent teens and adults A place to be yourself, learn to advocate for your needs, and communicate in ways that feel natural.
​
LGBTQ+ and trans affirming, always Trans, nonbinary and queer youth and adults are welcome here exactly as they are. I also support parents who want to show up well for their trans or questioning child.
​
Also offered: Relationship coaching for couples of all kinds, and menopause coaching.
​
Why coaching, not therapy?
Many families come to me after therapy didn't work for their child. Coaching is different. It's focused on today and what comes next: practical strategies, real-life practice, and steady support. I'm not here to fix your child. I'm here to help your family understand each other. Learn more about coaching vs therapy

Emily Norris, CLC
she/her
As a neurodiversity-affirming practitioner and committed ally to queer and gender-expansive communities, I understand the importance of creating spaces where every identity and every brain is respected and supported. With a background in biology, medicine, and alternative healing, my true strength lies in connecting with people.
As a parent and human, I’ve faced anxiety, loss, and struggle—and I’ve come to believe that within every challenge lies an opportunity. My work is rooted in both education and real-life experience, and I’m here to help you find clarity, strength, and growth through whatever you’re navigating.
Experience has shown me that with self exploration, honesty, and a willingness to be vulnerable, achieving a contented life will be less hard.
