​​Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been drawn to helping people grow. I believe that every person has value and can contribute to improving the world. Service, respect, curiosity, and connection are the values that have always guided my life.

My professional philosophy is that everyone has gifts and can do amazing things with the right supports, community, and environment. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t take hard work, but it’s absolutely possible. There’s always a way forward.

My 15-year career has spanned the intersection of education and mental health working with a wide range of nuerodiverse clients. I’ve been a teacher, case manager, behavior counselor, tutor, educational therapist, and coach. Working with amazing young people who had been failed by the traditional education system taught me see the big picture, find the root of the challenges, get creative, and most importantly, to never forget the human at the center of it all.

​This work is deeply personal to me. For years, I struggled with undiagnosed ADHD, managing to succeed professionally while privately battling chaos, shame, and burnout—until my body shut down and forced me to take a hard reset. I learned to work in a way that aligned with my needs, prioritize my health, and heal through community and doing my own work. Executive function remained elusive in spite of my best effort.

It wasn’t until my ADHD diagnosis years later that I felt like I finally had the full picture of myself. Working with a coach who really understood me made me realize how empowering or limiting EF is. EF isn’t just about productivity—it shapes every aspect of life and brings our ideal self into being.

Outside of work, I find joy in spending time with my loved ones, being in nature, biking, traveling, gardening, learning, going to concerts, and making friends with other people’s dogs (don’t tell the guy on the left I’m actually a cat person).
