Create the life you want to live.
Providing individualized and small-group opportunities for neurodivergent teens and young adults to explore passions & interests, build authentic friendships, develop confidence, and become active members of their communities.
After highschool ends, "real life" begins and that can be overwhelming—especially for individuals who are neurodivergent.
Finding a job, pursuing a passion, going to college, making friends, gaining independence--these may seem like insurmountable challenges.
How I Can Help
As a Speech-Language Pathologist with more than 25 years experience, I have helped children, adolescents, and young adults make meaningful gains in their communication, social, and independent living skills. Throughout my career, I have built strong, lasting relationships with my students, clients and their families. I am passionate about empowering individuals to increase their independence, pursue their goals and dreams, and, most importantly
BUILD CONNECTIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER.
