About Me:

With 30+ years as a classroom teacher, special education leader, and SF Bay Area consultant, plus fatherhood to two independent teen sons, I bring deep understanding of neurodiverse learning, family dynamics, and practical pathways forward at school and home.

​

About the Families I Serve:

Many families I serve have bright, capable kids and teens, often with ADHD, learning disabilities, executive function challenges, or twice-exceptional profiles, who are struggling in school, friendships, or self-esteem despite tutors, therapies, or coaching. Something's getting in the way, often some combination of big emotions, frustrating patterns, or overlooked barriers holding back their potential. Parents feel stuck in recurring home dynamics, wanting to show up differently but unsure how. 

​

My approach blends special education expertise with neuro-affirming parent coaching, drawn from 30+ years supporting diverse learners and families. The focus is everyday, practical systems for self-regulation and executive function, rather than "fixing." Nothing is wrong with your child or you.  ​​​​

​​

We could be a great fit if you seek to:

• Create stronger teamwork and connection with your child

• Translate knowledge into real-life strategies that stick

• Better understand your child and help them feel heard

• Navigate predictable tricky situations with ease

• Integrate special education insights into your child's learning.

​

I could be a great fit for your child if you hope to:

• Build academic skills and confidence in a fun, supportive setting

• Align your efforts with a veteran coach and expert special education consultant

• Leverage assistive technologies effectively 

• Meet in person (for sure, if local) or online with flexible support

• Add more calm and predictability to tricky home routines and scenarios.
