I am a Certified Child Life Specialist, and certified health and life coach with a passion for creating inclusive, patient-centered care for individuals with developmental and behavioral needs. For over a decade, I have worked to make healthcare more accessible, empowering, and compassionate through innovative programs, personalized interventions, and neurodiversity-informed practices.

I am the founder of Empowered Pathways, a health and life coaching business with the mission of linking strengths to solutions. Through Empowered Pathways, I work alongside clients to help them connect their unique strengths, needs, and goals with actionable solutions. My coaching focuses on fostering self-advocacy, building confidence, and creating personalized strategies for self-sufficiency and empowerment. Whether it’s building confidence, setting meaningful goals, or creating strategies to thrive, I focus on meeting people where they are and empowering them to live fulfilling, balanced lives.

When I’m not working, I’m spending time with my family and our dogs, gardening in my vegetable patch, or enjoying a good card or dice game. I love turning challenges into opportunities, helping people discover their strengths, and staying grounded in the things that bring me joy.
