Hi, I’m Sadie—a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, author, caregiver, and advocate for Quality of Life-focused care.

My path into this work was shaped by a desire to help people feel seen, understood, and supported. Over time, that became something much deeper through the relationships that changed how I understand communication, connection, and care.

One of those relationships was with Ethan, a child who had a lasting impact on my life and my work. For three years, I had the privilege of working closely with him. He shifted how I understand behavior—from something to change, to something to listen to. After his passing in 2022, I began writing as a way to process that experience. That writing became E Man, and continues to connect me with families walking similar paths.

Through that work, I met another family whose son, Miles, also lives with Phelan-McDermid Syndrome. I became part of his life as a caregiver, and that relationship further deepened my understanding of what daily life can look like for families navigating complex needs.

These experiences continue to shape how I show up in my work today.

As a BCBA, I take a quality-of-life focused approach to behavior support. I look at what your day actually feels like—what’s manageable, what’s hard, and how support can fit into that in a way that feels more steady, more connected, and more sustainable over time.

Alongside my clinical work, I also write and illustrate children’s books. Storytelling has become another way I explore and share experiences that are often difficult to put into words, especially around communication, sensory differences, and connection.

Everything I do is grounded in understanding and shaped by the individuals and families who have trusted me to see their world more closely.

I’m really glad you’re here.
