Whether you’re newly navigating an autism diagnosis or have been walking this path for years, you’re not alone.

As an autistic registered nurse, certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist, and long-time advocate, I offer personalized guidance, emotional support, and practical tools for both autistic individuals and the people who love and support them.

For Autistic Individuals:

I provide a safe, affirming space to:

• Explore and understand your neurotype without judgment or pressure to “mask”
• Build self-advocacy skills and confidence in navigating systems (like school, healthcare, or employment)
• Identify accommodations that actually work for you in daily life
• Process challenges like burnout, sensory overload, or relationship difficulties—with someone who gets it

For Caregivers and Parents:

I help you:

• Understand autism through a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming lens
• Communicate more effectively and compassionately with your child or loved one
• Identify supports that reduce distress and increase connection
• Navigate complex systems like IEPs, healthcare access, and behavioral plans—with clarity and confidence
• Access and learn about support resources for you and your person

I don’t offer cookie-cutter advice—I offer individualized, realistic support rooted in clinical expertise and lived experience. My goal is always the same: to promote understanding, reduce overwhelm, and help every autistic person feel seen, respected, and supported.

Assisting individuals and families in accessing local resources and networks to enhance wellbeing and integration.

As an autistic mental health nurse with over 20 years of experience—and a certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist—I bring both lived experience and clinical expertise to every talk, training, and workshop.

Whether I’m speaking to educators, healthcare providers, families, or community leaders, my goal is simple: build understanding, promote inclusion, and leave people with tools they can use right away.

My approach is engaging, relatable, and backed by deep knowledge. I translate complex concepts into real-world insights that help professionals and families alike better support autistic individuals—without relying on outdated stereotypes or deficit-based models.

I offer:

  •   Keynote speeches for conferences and community events

 •   Customized trainings for schools, clinics, nonprofits, and organizations

•   Workshops on topics like executive functioning, autism and mental health, demand avoidance, trauma-informed care, sensory needs, and more

•   Consulting for program development and policy review

Whether you’re just starting to learn about autism or looking to deepen your team’s skillset, I tailor every session to meet your goals—with warmth, clarity, and a strong neurodiversity-affirming lens.

Your voice matters in the exam room—I help make sure it’s heard.

Navigating medical systems can be overwhelming—even more so for autistic individuals facing sensory overload, communication challenges, or providers who don’t understand neurodivergent needs.

I offer compassionate, neurodiversity-informed support before, during, and after healthcare appointments. As an autistic registered nurse with 20+ years of experience in mental health and autism care, I understand both the clinical side and the lived experience of what it’s like to sit in that exam room.

Here’s how I help:

   •   Preparation: I help clarify concerns, gather questions, and identify goals for the visit

   •   In-Appointment Support: I attend as an advocate and calming presence, helping ensure clear communication, informed consent, and respectful care

   •   Follow-Up: I assist with understanding provider recommendations, next steps, and coordinating care

Whether you’re an autistic adult, a parent supporting a child, or a care team member looking to ensure better outcomes, I provide the bridge between patient needs and provider systems.

   •   Neurodivergent-informed healthcare advocacy, from someone who’s been there.
