I’m a certified Health and Life Coach through the Health Coach Institute, and I’ve spent more than 15 years working in education and publishing. But the experience that most shaped my work was becoming the parent of a neurodivergent child.
Like many families, we navigated misunderstandings, school challenges, and long stretches of uncertainty. I know how heavy those decisions can feel—and how isolating it can be when you’re trying to advocate while also holding everything together at home.
Coaching grew out of a simple belief:
Parents need support too.
My approach is calm, practical, and compassionate. I don’t believe in fixing children. I believe in helping parents feel grounded, informed, and capable of making thoughtful decisions for their families.
In our work together, we might:
explore what your child truly needs to feel safe and able to learn
identify patterns that are draining your energy
create routines that support your child’s nervous system and your own
prepare for conversations with schools or caregivers
build confidence in your own instincts
Coaching is not therapy, diagnosis, or advocacy services. It is a space for reflection, clarity, and steady forward movement.

A: No. Many families come to me when they suspect autism, ADHD, 2e, or anxiety but don’t have clear answers yet. If traditional parenting tools aren’t working for you, this is the perfect place to start.
-
A: All sessions are online, so you can join from anywhere with a quiet-ish spot and a cup of tea. It is best to find a place where you can have some privacy, so you can speak openly and freely.
