Founder

I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Licensed Applied Behavior Analyst. For more than a decade, I've had the privilege of working alongside children, teens, and families in homes, schools, and communities.

Over the years, I've seen how overwhelming it can feel to navigate evaluations, IEPs, behavior challenges, and the transition to adulthood. My passion is helping families make sense of it all by breaking down complex information, answering questions, and providing practical guidance so you can move forward with confidence.

I created The Informed Parent Consulting because I believe families deserve more than just recommendations. They deserve a trusted partner who listens, collaborates, and helps them navigate each step of the journey.

Every child is unique, every family has a different story, and my goal is to provide personalized support that helps your family feel informed, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

Simple ideas

Through every step, we've focused on staying true to our values and making space for thoughtful, lasting work.

Lasting impact

We build with clarity, act with integrity, and always stay curious.
