Helping families feel secure every step of the way.

I am the Principal Consultant of Secure Steps Consulting, where I support neurodivergent individuals and families through life’s financial decisions. My work brings together financial planning, advocacy, and lived experience in a way that is both practical and deeply informed.I am also a wife and mother of three sons. Raising a child on the autism spectrum reshaped how I view financial security. It made me more aware of the long-term questions families carry — questions about education, public benefits, independence, caregiving, and sustainability. It also revealed how often traditional financial planning overlooks these realities.Professionally, I am trained in financial strategy and committed to helping families build structure and clarity. Personally, I understand IEP meetings, evaluations, shifting diagnoses, and the emotional weight of planning for a future that may look different than expected. That dual perspective guides how I approach every conversation.I believe financial planning should reflect the whole life of a family — not just income and investments, but transitions, support systems, and long-term stability. My approach is steady, thoughtful, and grounded in both expertise and empathy.At the center of my work is a simple conviction: families deserve to feel secure, informed, and supported every step of the way.
