ADHD in the House? You Need Someone
Who Understands the Whole Picture.
Your kid is capable, and stuck. Most ADHD support focuses on the child. I start with the whole picture: your child, your home, school, 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, completion, and follow-through, so your student relies more on themselves and less on reminders. I led learning support departments at Drew School and JCHS (high schools) and worked at Town School (K-8), 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 to 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 focuses on the child: meds, therapy, brain training, and other fixes aimed at the kid’s mind. But real change is within reach at home, in the routines and moments of daily life. It’s a practice. It often starts with parents, and it works best when parents and kids build it together.

Self-regulation doesn’t grow from more talking. It grows from being seen, supported, and practiced, with you.

Before age 12, the Legacy Window, this work is especially powerful. After that, EF demands climb fast. The sooner you start, the easier the climb.

The CDC and AAP recommend parent behavior training as a core ADHD treatment, yet most families never get it in a form that fits real life. PAUSE People was built to close that gap.
What Gets in the Way, and What to Do About It
My work draws on the insight and self-awareness of therapy, and pairs it with tools you can use. We look at what’s getting in the way, why it’s happening, and what to do about it. Then we practice.
Whether I’m working with a student who struggles to get started, a teenager who shuts down when frustrated, or a parent caught in a familiar cycle of conflict, the goal is the same: build awareness, develop practical skills, and recognize the moments to use those skills in real life. The micro-course corrections kids feel right away become new patterns, and those patterns ripple through your home into the moments that used to be stressful, such as the morning rush, transitions, homework, and dinnertime.
