I’m a behavior expert, a feeding therapist and a momma. I love big hair, long dinners and DIY podcasts. I get a big kick out of collecting cookbooks but find most of my recipes on the internet. (Can anyone relate?) Baking is my jam, and I’m usually the one who shows up with dessert.
I grew up in the Midwest (shout out to all the Wisconsinites!), but moved to Seattle over a decade ago. I’m here with my teddy bear of a husband, Dan, and our two sweet daughters.
I started the Autism Feeding Specialist blog while working in an intensive, hospital-based feeding program because I wanted to support more families who struggle with mealtimes than I could in my day job. Fast forward to now, I split my weekdays between caring for our little gals and continuing my work as a behavioral feeding therapist. You’ll find me here at naptime, sharing the same sort of information that I give to my therapy families regularly.
