What We Do 
We empower parents to find easy, long-lasting, and impactful solutions to troubles you're having with your neurodivergent children.

Thya is a highly trained and experienced parent coach who specializes in supporting families of neurodivergent children. With expertise in autism parenting, sensory processing disorders, and ADHD, Thya works closely with parents who struggle with disruptive behaviors. Through personalized guidance, Thya helps parents connect with their core values, empowering them to manage parenting challenges effectively. Offering 1-on-1 coaching, group sessions, and workshops or seminars for organizations, Thya provides tailored strategies and autism parenting advice to foster sustainable success and positive growth for both parents and children.

Thya offers several parent coaching packages, with the 8-week program being the most popular and impactful. These standard packages are available both in-person and remotely, tailored to meet each family’s unique needs, whether for neurodivergent children support or navigating other parenting challenges.


Recognizing that every parent has unique needs and preferences, Thya invites parents to reach out to discuss whether a custom parent coaching package would be the best fit. Additionally, Thya provides specialized support for parents who are court-mandated for parent coaching, offering compassionate and effective guidance.

You are not alone in your journey. Many parents are seeking ways to show up as their best selves for their children, just like you. Thya facilitates group parent coaching sessions, offering a valuable opportunity to learn, collaborate, and save money at the same time.

Thya offers workshops and seminars at schools and other organizations, providing valuable education to parents about the early detection of autism. These sessions are designed to equip parents with the knowledge and tools needed to recognize early signs and better support their children’s development.

This Is For You If  You are struggling with your child's behavior. 

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?



  • Are constant angry outbursts leaving you and your child emotionally drained, making you feel like giving up? Do you just want a peaceful, effective way to manage the behavior?
  • Have you tried everything—empathizing, meeting your child where they’re at, even getting angry—yet nothing seems to work when it comes to managing their behavior?
  • Are you tired of feeling guilty about the lost connection you once had with your child and longing to rebuild it—without feeling like they’ll walk all over you?
  • Are you done with the constant struggle at dinner time, bedtime, or during transitions, and in need of a technique that will work every time for your child’s needs?

I'm So Glad You Are Here!  You have come to the right place. 

Relief Is On The Way


  • You’re ready to have a day filled with laughter rather than angry outbursts.
  • You’re excited to finally have solutions that work every time!
  • You’re relieved that transitions are no longer a struggle; ie: bed-time, getting out the door, doing homework.
  • You finally feel like you have a lasting connection with your child.


Welcome!  Your struggle stops here. 

Happy Days Are Just Ahead!


Wouldn’t it be great if you could laugh every day with your kids again; to start seeing the humor in who they are and the little funny things that they do? You may not be in this place yet, and I get it! I was once there too! But it's possible! 

Once we start working together you’ll begin to see the silly and sometimes downright funny things that your kids do! You’ll begin to enjoy who they are again and every day won’t seem like a struggle! 

Whether it’s screen time struggle, or you are constantly frustrated with your children not listening to you, or meltdowns happen on a daily basis - sometimes multiple times a day, or the talking back has gotten out of hand, we can work together to come up with a unique solution that works for you and your family!

It’s entirely possible to enjoy your child again, for everyone to be feeling rested, and for you to no longer be feeling overwhelmed and guilty!
