Bio

After many meaningful years as a certified parent coach and educational consultant—supporting families navigating complex academic, emotional, and developmental challenges—I am shifting my professional focus toward a long-held passion: creating communities of connection and belonging through innovative housing solutions.

My work has long centered on serving neurodiverse individuals and their families, helping them access environments where they feel seen, supported, and empowered. This next chapter builds on that foundation, as I work to develop intentional housing communities for autistic adults and intergenerational individuals seeking safe, supportive, and connected living spaces throughout their lives.

My commitment to understanding systems of care—educational, therapeutic, and now residential—continues to guide my efforts. I believe that fostering dignity, autonomy, and connection through stable housing is a powerful next step in supporting neurodiverse individuals in living meaningful, self-directed lives.

 

While my direct consulting work is winding down, I remain deeply committed to building bridges between people, services, and communities—and to co-creating spaces where all individuals can thrive in belonging, purpose, and safety.
