When school stops working, families shouldn't have to figure it out alone.
Whether your child is struggling to attend, shutting down over homework, or struggling in ways the school hasn't been able to fix — I will work with your child and alongside your family to find a path forward.
Schools often expect parents to be the homework police, the truancy officer, and their own IEP/504 case manager. I help you cut through the acronyms and legal language to ensure the school system provides the support your child is legally entitled to.


Your Child Isn't Broken.
School just isn't working for them...Yet!
School Refusal & Avoidance — When getting to school feels impossible, I work with your child and family to understand why and build supports to address the underlying need.
IEP/504 Advocacy — I help families navigate the process, understand their rights, and ensure the school delivers what your child is legally entitled to.
Behavior Support — All behavior is communication. I help identify what need your child is communicating and develop strategies that actually work to address this need.
Executive Functioning — Organization, planning, time management, and follow-through — I help kids build the skills school demands, but rarely teaches.
Math — For kids in the middle grades who have hit a wall with numbers — or who are suddenly wondering why letters showed up in math, I find what skills are missing and build from there.
Homework Support — When homework becomes a nightly battle, I work with your child and family to change the dynamic and make it manageable.
