I'm a father of three adult children, and my middle son, Casey, who is 27 and has Down syndrome, has taught me invaluable lessons about resilience, independence, and love. Over the years, I've navigated the challenges of supporting him through medical issues, the education system, and work, all while raising his siblings. Case is now on a journey toward independence, having worked for many years and graduating from our community college, and I'm proud of all he's accomplished. I'm passionate about supporting other parents on a similar journey, offering guidance, encouragement, or simply a listening ear. I am a former board member for the National Association for Down Syndrome and am excited to contribute to Fello's mission however I can.

I am a professional parenting coach specializing in ADHD, parenting neurodivergent children, as well as supporting families managing chronic illnesses like Type 1 diabetes. As a mother of three, I’ve faced the challenges of raising a child with ADHD, depression, and anxiety, and navigating my son’s diabetes diagnosis at age 12. Parenting in a two-career household has taught me resilience, and I know how isolating and overwhelming this journey can feel. My passion is helping parents feel heard, validated, and supported, just as I was when I needed it most. Through virtual coaching and group sessions, I help parents reframe challenges, strengthen connections, and find clarity during tough moments. No one should have to walk this path alone, and I’m here to offer support and understanding.

I have a 26-year-old neurotypical daughter and a 24-year-old daughter who was diagnosed with autism when she was 3. In 2004, no one knew what autism was and there were zero resources to help parents navigate a maze of treatments, education, or nutrition. That time in my life included two divorces and losing my life savings in the 2008 market collapse. In 2007, I married for the second time. In 2012, I got divorced for the second time. Please know that no matter what happens—what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
