When autism-related decisions feel overwhelming, you don’t have to figure everything out alone. I help families understand their options, make informed decisions, and create a clear path forward.
I work with families navigating:
- A new autism diagnosis, services, and therapy options
- School, IEP, and placement decisions
- Transition planning for teenagers and young adults
- College, gap-year, and postsecondary programs
- SSI, DDD, adult services, and long-term planning
- Complex situations where a second opinion would be helpful

Virtual consultations are available nationwide. In-person meetings may be available in northern New Jersey.
Established clients, schools, and autism professionals should schedule a 60-Minute meeting.
What Happens Next?
After learning about your family’s needs, I will explain how I may be able to help. If we decide to work together, I will recommend the most appropriate consultation or support package and outline clear next steps.
Every family is different. My guidance is practical, personalized, and based on your child’s strengths and your family’s priorities.
Not Sure Where to Begin?
That is perfectly okay. Many parents contact me because they are unsure what questions to ask or which decision should come first. We can begin wherever you are and create a manageable path forward.
What Families Say
