About Me
I'm a parent advocate, disability services navigator, and coach - and the mother of two children,
one with a rare disease called
Phelan-McDermid
Syndrome.
When my son was diagnosed, I made a decision: I would understand every program he touched, or would
one day touch. I dove deep into IEPs, therapies, insurance systems, disability services, and the
maze of acronyms that families and organizations navigate daily. What I discovered is that the
system isn't impossible - it's just incredibly complex, and most people are trying to figure it out
on their own.
I don't want you to feel alone in this.
Through one-on-one coaching, I help families advocate effectively for their loved ones and assist
businesses in creating truly accessible and inclusive services. My approach is simple: I ask the
questions others don't think to ask, I spot the angles people miss, and I help you find the language
that gets results.
As a child, I was called "annoying" for asking too many questions. Now, those questions help
families access what their children need and help organizations serve their communities better. What
was once seen as defiant is now my superpower - and I use it to empower you.
If you're ready to navigate this journey with someone who truly understands, let's talk.
