OUR STORY & MISSION

​At Emerging Adulthood Consulting, our mission is to empower young adults with neurodivergence and unique abilities to confidently transition into independence. With over a decade of experience in special education, I’ve dedicated my career to bridging the gap between high school and adulthood, providing personalized coaching and resources that foster growth, resilience, and self-determination.

My journey began in 2013 as a paraprofessional in a secondary life skills classroom. From there, I advanced to become a certified special education teacher, focusing on Pre-K PPCD settings and later specializing in behavior intervention for students with Autism, ADHD, Emotional Disturbance, and other developmental challenges. Through these experiences, I developed a deep understanding of the complexities young people and their families face.

In 2022, I shifted my focus to helping young adults with high-functioning ADHD, Autism, and other neurodivergent traits as they navigate the transition to adulthood. Recognizing the critical gaps in executive functioning, social skills, and daily life readiness, I made it my mission to provide tailored support that prepares clients for the opportunities and challenges of independence.

In 2023, I began pursuing certification to become a principal, driven by a desire to deepen my understanding of leadership and identify the systemic gaps in education. This journey illuminated the need for more holistic, individualized support for young adults—a realization that inspired me to make Emerging Adulthood Consulting my primary focus. By the end of 2024, I made the decision to fully dedicate myself to this vision, continuing the work that bridges education, life skills, and independence for those I serve.

Inspired by my late father’s legacy, the dragonfly symbolizes the heart of my work: transformation, resilience, and hope. My father’s guiding question—“What am I doing today to make a better tomorrow?”—drives my approach. His commitment to coaching and building futures serves as the foundation of everything we do at Emerging Adulthood Consulting.

Whether it’s developing life skills, setting meaningful goals, or planning for the future, I am here to provide the compassionate, expert guidance young adults need to thrive. Together, we can transform challenges into opportunities and build a brighter tomorrow.
