Serving Marin County & Beyond
ADHD in the house? You need someone
who understands the whole picture.
You've got a bright kid, a full life, and a growing sense that the usual advice isn't working. You're not failing, you just haven't had the right support yet.
That's what I've been doing for over 30 years.

Why the Whole Family?
With over 30 years of experience supporting kids, teens, and families navigating ADHD and neurodiversity at home and school, my work is grounded in the belief that parents need early, real-world support because:
-
Sowing the seeds of self-regulation early and often builds resilience, frustration tolerance, and a quality of life the whole family feels. The window before age 12 is the best opportunity. We call this the Legacy Window.
-
Fixing the child (tutors, therapies, medication) is too often the default intervention despite CDC and AAP recommendations for concurrent parent behavior training.
-
Screens and digital overload are quietly eroding kids' capacity for self-regulation, leaving most parents without the tools to respond effectively.
-
Kids don't learn self-regulation from more talking, they need to see it, feel it, and practice it in real time at home.
-
Parents are swimming in information when what they need is expert insight and guidance in real time.​
-
EF challenges don't plateau in adolescence -they accelerate. The longer they go unaddressed, the higher the cost, the deeper the resistance, and often, it's a steeper climb back.
