Who I Am
 

• Neurodivergent Parent & Therapist – Diagnosed with ADHD at 8, I’ve spent my life understanding neurodiversity from both a personal and professional lens.
   

•  Parenting Three Kids—And Learning a Million Lessons Along the Way – Each of my children has their own unique strengths and challenges, which means no one-size-fits-all approach works in my home. Parenting is a constant journey of accepting, learning, adapting, and growing.
   

• Former ABA Therapist—With a Balanced Perspective – I’ve worked with many autistic kids in my time as an ABA therapist and have seen both the benefits and the challenges of the approach. I take the best of what works while being mindful of the concerns many in the autistic community have.
   

• Helping Parents Find Their Strength – I work with parents navigating burnout, conflicting parenting styles, and the pressures of raising neurodivergent children in a neurotypical world.
   

• Advocate for Families – From IEP meetings to therapy struggles, I help parents advocate effectively while preserving their own well-being.
