Frequently Asked Questions

  • I listen well, between the words and patiently across all communication styles, including AAC. I'll reflect back what I hear so we both know we're on the same page. Then I'll share the medical evidence, tell you what the science says, and bring in what I've seen work. From there, we figure out together what's most likely to work for you.

    Expect your assumptions about what's possible to be gently, persistently challenged. For yourself, and for the people you love.

  • I bring something most clinicians can't - lived experience. As the mom of an unreliably speaking autistic adult, I didn't just learn about communication differences in a classroom. I lived them, navigated them, and grew through them. That, paired with over 20 years of advanced practice nursing and formal training as a communication and regulation partner, has shaped something that can't be taught: an intuitive, deep listening that actually hears you, not just your words, but what's underneath them.
