My interest in disabilities began with my own child’s diagnosis. When life took this unexpected turn, I returned to graduate school for a master’s degree in special education and went on to spend more than fifteen years working in both public and private schools before eventually stepping out to start my coaching practice.

I am a parent and a teacher with extensive ADHD individual and family coach training.  This unique perspective gives me a blend of skills, insight, and compassion that I try to bring to every conversation. I am committed to helping people recognize their strengths and identify any support that allows them to live meaningful lives.

This is my passion and it’s also personal. I was diagnosed as an adult with ADHD. I get it.

I truly believe that ADHD and related diagnoses affecting executive functions simply require us to know ourselves. We’ll then know what we need to make our best choices.

I hold an M.Ed. in Special Education from Virginia Commonwealth University and a B.A. from Vassar College. I’m certified through ICF (PCC) and PAAC, and I’ve recently joined the faculty of the ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA).
