The Approach

What students get when they work with me

Trauma-Informed

Certified Trauma Recovery Coach. Students are met with safety and regulation first — strategy second.

Holistic

We look at sleep, rhythm, emotional regulation and learning together — not symptoms in isolation.

Practical

Beyond executive-function tips: skills, tools and systems that fit each student's life and program.
