“You are not alone in this.” – Marcus Mumford

Are you struggling with OCD? Anxiety? Do you have a child who has always been "different" by the world's standards and you just can't connect with? A student who needs tutoring in Executive Functioning Skills? I will be your advocate/coach through any of these things. I have years of experience in living with OCD, raising children with OCD, childhood trauma, and teaching and parenting a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have taught Special Education for eleven years and have fostered 73 children over the span of seven. My knowledge base is large. You've got this, and I've got your back!

Writings

Read here, here, here and here to get to know me.

CBS News Article about my foster care involvement. This led to attending a luncheon at the Missouri Capitol to honor those who have made a difference in the lives of the defenseless through foster care awareness, reform, and advocacy. I have also spoken to the Kansas Senate regarding reforms in foster care.

OCD Podcasts

I was featured on both of “Terrrible, Thanks for Asking” and “This is Actually Happening” to explain to you lucky neurotypicals what OCD is actually like. This will be helpful if you are experiencing OCD symptoms or have a child who is experiencing the same.

Experience

On top of having fostered 73 children of all different backgrounds in the KC area, I have taught for 11 years in the K-12 setting, rural and urban, specifically dealing with Special Education, Mental Health and Behavioral Issues. I am currently licensed as a Special Education Teacher in both Kansas and Iowa.

Here is my viral post about parenting a foster child and letting them go.
