Professional Development and Educational Consulting

Supporting Students, Families, and Schools with Clarity, Care, and Expertise.


With nearly two decades of experience as a Learning Specialist, Professional School Counselor, and Public School Leader, I offer educational consulting that helps families and schools navigate the often-complex intersection of learning, mental health, and academic success.

My work is grounded in deep knowledge of child development, special education, mental health, and the realities of today’s educational systems.

Services for Schools and Educators

I offer in-depth, relevant, and actionable training in the areas educators need most, including:

• Leadership & School Climate

Creating collaborative, compassionate, and efficient school environments that support both staff and student success.

• Reducing Educator Burnout

Strategies for nervous system regulation, stress management, boundaries, and sustainable workload practices.

• Understanding Student Mental Health

Practical tools for teachers to recognize and respond to:

  • Anxiety

  • ADHD

  • Executive function challenges

  • Mood changes

  • Trauma responses

  • Emotional dysregulation

Educators leave with a clearer understanding of the “why” behind student behaviors—and strategies that actually help.

• Supporting Students with Learning Differences

Training for general and special education staff on ADHD, Dyslexia, Tourette’s, anxiety-based learning challenges, and executive dysfunction.

“When teachers understand how the brain learns, they teach differently—and students thrive.”

Services for Families

Understanding New Diagnoses

Learning that your child has ADHD, Dyslexia, Anxiety, Tourette’s, pediatric OCD, or executive functioning challenges can feel overwhelming.


I help families:

  • Understand what the diagnosis means

  • Make sense of testing reports

  • Identify strengths, needs, and next steps

  • Connect emotional, behavioral, and learning challenges

  • Develop a plan that supports both home and school success

Guidance Through the 504, Learning Plan, and Special Education Process

Navigating the special education system can be confusing, frustrating, and time-consuming.


I provide:

  • Guidance on the 504, Learning Plan, and IEP process

  • Support in understanding rights and services

  • Preparation for school meetings

  • Recommendations for accommodations and supports

  • Collaboration with school teams (when desired)

Why Schools & Families Choose This Approach

Collaborative & Strength-Based

Whether working with parents, administrators, or teachers, my approach is supportive, respectful, and grounded in partnership.

Actionable & Practical

Every recommendation, strategy, or training is designed to be implemented immediately and sustainably.
