Helping Families Find a Path Forward
When your child is struggling, it's not always clear what to do next. I help families make sense of behaviors, evaluations, school concerns, and everyday challenges so they can move forward with confidence.
For more than 20 years, I've worked alongside children, families, and educators in a variety of roles. My experience includes:
• Special education
• Autism support
• Teacher training and professional development
• Educational consulting and parent coaching
• School collaboration and support planning
As a neurodivergent educator, consultant, and parent, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work. I understand how exhausting it can feel to navigate conflicting advice, evaluations, school concerns, and daily challenges while trying to do what's best for your child.
My goal is to help families connect the dots, identify practical next steps, and feel more confident supporting their child at home, at school, and in everyday life.
How I Can Help
Whether you're trying to understand an evaluation, navigate school concerns, address challenging behaviors, or create more effective supports at home, I'll help you identify practical next steps and create a clear path forward. The 4-week package is a common starting point, but every family's situation is unique. Individual consultations, home visits, school meetings, and ongoing support are also available based on your family's needs.
