My Perspective
As a parent, I’ve sat in the dark of sleepless nights and felt the frustration of tools that promised to help my child "behave" but delivered chaos, escalation, anxiety, pain, and failure. As a clinician, I’ve watched compliance-based methods stumble in real sessions—so I dove deep into neuroscience (my autistic hyperfocus) to uncover why regulation, brain building, and explicit teaching of expectations- not rules, rewards, or punishments- moves the needle. As an autistic professional, I bring lived insight to every plan, ensuring strategies honor each child’s capacity and spark genuine connection.
The Transformation I Offer
I blend trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, neuroscience-driven methods with the art of human connection. Together, we’ll:
-
Replace short-lived behavior fixes with capacity-building practices
-
Meet a child’s nervous system where it is—and create a roadmap for growth
-
Turn unmet needs into skills, so meltdowns give way to mastery
-
Bridge the gap between research and real life, one nervous system at a time
Whether you’re a parent, educator, or therapist, I’m here to help you stop managing behaviors and start growing resilience, flexibility, and confidence—in every child and in yourself.
