Rise & Shine
This bi-monthly support group is a space where moms come together to connect, learn, and grow. Each session blends honest conversation, autistic-affirming education, and community care — helping you rediscover your capacity, confidence, and calm.
For the Moms Who Rise
Each morning we make a choice — to rise.
To rise above exhaustion and the endless to-do lists.
To rise to the occasion of learning something new.
To rise above the noise and connect with what truly matter
And most importantly, to let our hearts shine with love for our children.
We Rise & Shine Together
A support group designed to empower mothers of autistic humans through learning, reflection, and connection. This program strengthens caregiving capacity, deepens understanding of neurodiversity, and nurtures peaceful family rhythms through autistic-affirming education, action-oriented practice, and restorative community experiences.

Why We Rise & Shine
Because raising an autistic child is a journey of love, learning, and constant growth.
Because motherhood can be full of both joy and worry.
Because when raising an autistic child, it’s easy to feel isolated or unsure if you’re doing it “right.”
Because even the strongest moms need space to breathe and connect.
I created Rise & Shine for you—because I’ve been there. I know how deeply you love, how much you give, and how rarely there’s time to refill your own cup.
This group exists to remind you that you don’t have to do it alone.
Your belong here!

Hi, I'm Dale
I became a therapist because I know what it feels like to carry so much love and still wonder if you’re doing enough.
Raising a neurodivergent child asks us to rise—to show up again and again through the exhaustion, the advocating, and the uncertainty.
What I’ve learned is that we don’t have to rise alone.
Rise & Shine was created for moms who want to connect, grow, and find steadiness in the middle of it all. It’s a place to exhale, to learn, and to remember that we are enough—and that our children don’t need perfect, they just need us.
Let’s Rise & Shine Together
