I’ve been working in the field since 2006 across a range of settings, both in the U.S. and internationally. My work has included providing person-centered planning training with Autism Compassion Africa in Ghana, as well as supporting families and professionals through work in Kenya, Tanzania, and Turks and Caicos. Locally, I’ve partnered with organizations such as the Dan Marino Foundation, Jewish Family Services, and Florida Atlantic University, where I’ve led workshops focused on autism, behavior, and practical parent strategies.
I specialize in working with individuals and families navigating ADHD, autism, and a range of neurodivergent needs, including emotional regulation and complex behavior. My approach is collaborative, individualized, and focused on building skills that are both meaningful and sustainable over time, including social skills, functional skills, and social-emotional learning.
A strong focus of my work is the development of functional, real-world skills—communication, daily living, emotional regulation, and flexible responding—so that individuals can navigate their environments with greater independence and confidence. I take a holistic approach, considering the full context of the individual, including family systems, environment, and the supports needed to create meaningful and lasting change.
I also integrate ceramics and the creativity of the arts into my work, at times using art as a therapeutic medium to support engagement, flexibility, and skill development in a more natural, process-based way.
Whether I’m coaching parents, collaborating with schools, or working one-on-one with individuals, my goal is to make this work feel clear, doable, and grounded in real life—not overwhelming or overly clinical.
