## About

Families affected by Spina Bifida often ask the same question: “How do we help our child become as independent as possible?”

That's where I help.

As an adult living with Spina Bifida, a wheelchair user, kidney transplant recipient, speaker, and coach, I've spent decades navigating the challenges and opportunities that come with disability. Today, I help families turn uncertainty into a clear roadmap for independence.

My coaching focuses on practical life skills, adaptive problem-solving, self-advocacy, confidence, and preparing for important life transitions. Together, we'll identify where your child is today, where they want to go, and the specific steps needed to get there.

The goal isn't perfection. The goal is progress, independence, and creating a future filled with more possibilities and fewer limitations.
