Companion-style education and navigation support for families navigating diagnoses, school systems, and IEPs.
I’ve walked this journey with my own child—from early intervention through graduation and into the waiver system. Now I walk alongside families, offering clarity, emotional support, and practical guidance—so you don’t have to figure this out alone.

My Approach
I am an Education and Family Companion who supports families navigating special education, disability services, and school systems. My work is grounded in lived experience as a parent who has walked this path firsthand.
I walk alongside families who feel overwhelmed, confused, or unheard, helping them understand processes, organize information, and prepare for important meetings. I do not provide therapy, legal advice, or clinical services. Instead, I offer guidance, emotional support, and practical tools so families can make informed decisions and advocate with confidence.
My approach is family-centered, neurodiversity-affirming, and rooted in respect. I believe families are the experts on their children — my role is to help them feel supported, prepared, and less alone.
I walk alongside you—so you can move forward with confidence.
💜 No one walks alone here.

Why I Do This Work
I didn’t learn how to navigate the special education system from a book or a training first —I learned it as a parent.
When my daughter, Kamiyha, was younger and diagnosed with autism , I was overwhelmed, confused, and constantly questioning whether I was doing the right thing. I sat through meetings full of acronyms I didn’t understand, paperwork I didn’t know how to challenge, and decisions that felt rushed but life-changing.
I had to learn how to advocate, organize, ask questions, and speak up — often while carrying fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty.
From early intervention, through IEP meetings, evaluations, transitions, and now navigating adult systems and waivers, I’ve lived this journey step by step. I know what it’s like to feel behind, to second-guess yourself, and to wish someone could simply sit beside you and explain things clearly.
That’s why my work is different.
I don’t replace your voice — I walk alongside you while you find it. I don’t rush you — I help you understand what’s happening and what comes next.
I don’t judge where you are — I meet you exactly there.
