For more than two decades, I have provided relationship based, individualized support for those in need, from age five through adults. I provide intervention for a range of neurodivergent individuals, including those with learning disabilities, high academic potential in combination with learning disabilities (known as 2E or twice-exceptional) as well as those with co-occurring emotional dysregulation. Some common profiles of individuals I support are those with learning disabilities, ADHD, or anxiety, those on the Autism spectrum, and those who struggle with executive function skills.

Early in my work, I developed two primary focuses in my practice: the impact of emotions on learning and executive function. Through my interest in the impact of emotions on learning, I began to study with Dr. Connie Lillas, Founder/Director, NRF Institute Research to Resilience and co-author of the NRF (NeuroRelational Framework). I continue that consultation work today. My interest in executive function resulted in research on that topic for my doctoral dissertation.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Human Development from Pacific Oaks College, a master’s degree in Educational Therapy from California State University, Northridge, and a doctoral degree in Cognitive Diversity in Education from Bridges Graduate School.  My educational background provides a solid foundation from which I am able to support a range of individuals, neurodivergent and otherwise, to thrive in their own lives.
