For Parents & Caregivers
I’m here for parental support. I’ll walk beside you on your path and help you to build your own personalized roadmap. My first task is to listen and discover the unique individual challenges and strengths of you, your child, and other family members. I strive to help embrace each child as they are, to meet them where they are at, and identify and build on their strengths and gifts.
Then we will get into problem-solving. I will help you think realistically about what you can change, and design strategies to reach those goals. I’ll check in to see how it’s going. We’ll celebrate successes, and also learn which strategies need adjustments. We’ll identify what is doable for each person, and give your family room to breathe.
I am not providing therapy, and there will be no diagnosing. Your children won’t be involved in our sessions. I’ll meet with you to help understand information, share resources, generate ideas, and find support. I understand busy lives and I like to get things done! There will not be a long period of time in which we’re unearthing past experiences. Instead, I will jump right in to help solidify your intentions and move them into action. You’ll have specific and attainable action plans after each session.
For Professionals
I’ve been developing and leading trainings for NYC public school staff for over 20 years. I’m a PBIS coach, trained on Trauma-Informed Practices, Culturally Responsive Care, Behavior Management, and Social Emotional Learning.
In the past few years, I’ve learned a lot about what is often missing from these trainings, including the latest developments in neuroscience and behavior. I want to share that with you!
Teachers, school staff and mental health providers have had very difficult roles, particularly throughout the pandemic. I want to create spaces to share honestly about those struggles. Using the frameworks of Applied Neuroscience and the Neurodiversity Movement decreases burnout and frustration — I’ll show you how. I’m available for workshops, coaching, in-classroom support, and developing systems and resources specific to your environment.
