Empowering families with holistic educational assessments and support focused on their child’s greatest potential

Is your child struggling in school, and you’re not sure why?
As a parent, it can be disheartening when your child is having difficulties with learning, sustaining attention/focusing, or developing their social emotional and self regulation skills. Your child’s school may be providing interventions or extra help, but the additional support just doesn’t seem to be enough.
This may leave you feeling hopeless because…
Your child is falling behind in school, but nothing you try seems to help them find the success you know they are capable of.
They struggle with sustaining attention, organization, or time management, and it’s impacting their confidence.
You suspect learning differences or mental health concerns, which could include ADHD, dyslexia, or autism, but you are unable to get a clear answer.
Your child already has an Individualized Education Program (IEP), but the process feels confusing and overwhelming, leaving you unsure of how to advocate for your child’s needs.
Your child is eligible for Special Education, but in order to receive additional support outside of the school system you need a diagnosis, not only a Special Education Eligibility.

I understand how frustrating this can be and I am here to help you uncover the root of these challenges and provide a clear path forward, using a whole-person and strength-based approach that celebrates your child’s unique abilities.
Strengthening Foundations for Learning
Imagine your child walking into the classroom with their head held high, fully empowered in their unique learning style, and equipped with the tools they need to thrive.
Picture them gaining skills to stay focused and organized, leading to better grades and a smile that says,
"I can do this!"
I’m dedicated to being an empathetic partner as we work toward the common goal of equipping your family with the information and guidance needed to build a bright future for your child.
Let’s work together to cultivate a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.

Help your child THRIVE in 1-2-3
With just three simple steps, we'll work together to uncover your child's strengths and challenges in order to make recommendations that foster growth and resilience for a successful future.
We’ll chat for 30 minutes to understand your concerns and determine the best support for your child. We can discuss the process, timeframe, cost, and anything else that will help you determine whether we are a good fit.
After some necessary intake questionnaires and onboarding, we’ll get started.
We will work together to assess the needs of your child, whether that is through a comprehensive assessment, executive function coaching, or an IEP consultation.
After our work together, you’ll feel more empowered to help your child be successful inside and outside of the classroom.
I’m always here for continuing support if your needs change or you need further assistance.
What’s an LEP?
A Licensed Educational Psychologist (LEP) is someone who has specialized expertise in understanding the complexities of child development and learning. We specialize in figuring out what makes your child unique—like their learning style, strengths, and any learning challenges that may require additional support.
LEPs are here to support children with learning differences or mental health concerns, which could include
Learning disabilities, including dyslexia
