I spent years in the classroom as a special education teacher at every grade level, and I've seen what happens when a child's needs get lost in the system. Now I cut through the red tape so your child gets the support they deserve.

When you work with me, you get a tenacious team and a network of service providers, nonprofits, and legal partners on your side. I don't just help you understand the process. I negotiate, push back, and build real pathways for your child to thrive.

Wherever you are in the journey, whether it's your first IEP meeting or you're ready to fight a decision, I'll advocate for your child as if they were my own.
