ADHD in the House? You Need Someone
Who Understands the Whole Picture.
Your kid is capable, and stuck. Most ADHD help starts and stops with the brain. I start with the whole picture: your child, your home, and how you work together.
EF Coaching & Educational Therapy for kids/teens
Understanding ADHD
in the House
For schools, districts, and parent groups
Now enrolling — weekly or on your own schedule
For students: 1:1 executive function coaching and educational therapy, in person at The Lab in Kentfield or online. We work on planning, focus, and follow-through, so your student relies more on themselves and less on reminders. I led learning support at Drew School and JCHS and worked at Town School, so I know how this shows up from elementary through high school.
For parents: Coaching rooted in the PAUSE People System, which I co-created. Understand ADHD beyond attention, break the old patterns, and land on a new normal the whole family can feel.
Flipping the Script
Most ADHD help assumes the problem lives inside a child’s brain, so it’s treated there: with meds, individual therapy, neurofeedback, or brain-training apps. While some of this is solid science and medication helps many kids, lasting behavior change happens through structures and routines at home, and it often starts with parents. I start with the family, not the brain, improving quality of life in ways kids and parents can feel at home.
Why the Whole Family?
Self-regulation doesn't grow from more talking. It grows from being seen, supported, and practiced at home, with you. Before age 12, the Legacy Window, it's especially powerful.
-
The default is to fix the child. But the CDC and AAP recommend parent behavior training as a core treatment, first-line for young kids and paired with medication for older ones, and it’s rarely offered.
-
Screens are eroding focus and self-regulation, and most parents don't have the tools to push back.
-
EF challenges accelerate in adolescence. The sooner you start, the less steep the climb.
