About
I am a child and family psychologist who works with neurodivergent adolescents and young adults who appear capable on the outside, but are quietly losing momentum.
I help families and educators understand what has stalled, why traditional solutions often miss the mark, and how growth resumes when fit, not pressure, guides the next step.
I am also neurodivergent myself (ADHD, dyslexia, twice-exceptional), which means my work is shaped not only by professional training, but by lived experience.
Over the years, I have come to believe that development unfolds differently when individual differences in how a person learns, focuses, or connects with others are truly understood. When those differences are recognized and supported, growth regains momentum. When they are overlooked, even very capable young people can quietly stall.
My work, clinical, educational and written, is focused on helping families and educators learn to see these moments clearly, and to respond with patience, strategy, and confidence rather than urgency or fear.
