I’m a special education advocate, executive functioning specialist, and educator dedicated to helping neurodivergent children, teens, young adults, and their families navigate school, life, and the transition to adulthood with clarity and confidence.

With more than 28 years in education, including experience as a special education teacher, Special Education Director, advocate, and coach, I’ve worked alongside students, families, and school teams in a variety of settings. Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming it can feel when a child or young adult isn't receiving the support they need—or when families simply don't know what to do next.

That’s why I created NeuroRoots Education & Coaching.

Too often, families are left confused, unheard, or unsure of how to help their child move forward. IEPs are written, meetings happen, and yet progress doesn't always follow.

I built NeuroRoots to change that.

At NeuroRoots, we focus on identifying the root causes of challenges—whether they involve executive functioning, learning differences, social development, life skills, or gaps in support—and turning them into clear, meaningful, and practical next steps.

I believe support should feel empowering—not intimidating.

My role is to help families:

• Understand what their child truly needs.
• Know what to ask for—and how to ask for it.
• Walk into meetings prepared and confident.
• Build executive functioning and self-advocacy skills.
• Develop the independence needed for long-term success.

Whether I’m sitting beside you during an IEP meeting, coaching your child one-on-one, or supporting your family behind the scenes, my goal is the same:

To help individuals thrive and equip families with the confidence and tools they need every step of the way.

NeuroRoots is more than advocacy services.

As the founder of the NeuroRoots Microschool, I created a learning environment designed specifically for neurodivergent students who benefit from smaller class sizes, individualized support, executive functioning instruction, and a relationship-based approach to learning. Our microschool focuses on building confidence, fostering independence, and helping students rediscover a love for learning in a supportive, neurodiversity-affirming environment.

I am especially passionate about helping teens and young adults prepare for life beyond high school. Through our Transition Pathways program, we provide individualized transition services focused on executive functioning, self-advocacy, career exploration, college and vocational planning, workplace readiness, independent living skills, and building the confidence needed to navigate adulthood successfully.

My goal is not simply to help students graduate—but to help them thrive in the next chapter of their lives.

If you’ve ever felt like something isn't quite right…

If you've wondered whether your child needs more support…

If you've left meetings feeling confused or unheard…

You're not imagining it.

You know your child best.

I'm here to help you turn those concerns into a clear plan, meaningful progress, and hope for what comes next.
