Serving Marin County & Beyond
Your Child Is Capable.
Let's Build the Skills to Show It.
1:1 executive function coaching and educational therapy for students with ADHD, learning differences, and twice-exceptional profiles — in-person at The Lab or online.
A note to parents: Working with me is an intentional partnership. While I spend most of my time with your child, meaningful progress happens when the whole family learns and grows together — not just the student. My approach combines structured 1:1 sessions at The Lab with parent coaching grounded in the PAUSE People Framework — because kids who weren't born organized deserve more than strategies aimed at them alone.
Find the Right Starting Point
Two focused programs and an ongoing coaching option. Here's how to find what fits.
🚀 EF Launchpad Grades 6–12 · Assessment-driven · 4 months
A thorough EF assessment, a personalized Brain Blueprint, dedicated student sessions, and on-demand coaching through December. For families who want to get ahead of a harder year — not react to it.
📋 August Refresher Elementary & Middle School · August onlyGet the summer packet done.
Build the skills. Understand the brain. Three focused sessions before school starts — built around what your child has due and what they need.
🎯 Ongoing 1:1 Coaching All ages · Flexible · Weekly
A typical 8 or 2 week cycle gives our work structure.
Part 1 — Connection & Goal Setting
We begin by identifying the "Goal Zones" — the focus areas that will guide our work together. This collaborative stage clarifies what matters most for your child's learning and growth, aligning goals with their strengths, learning profile, and academic demands, as well as the family routines and habits that shape daily life at school and home. The focus is not just on your child.
Part 2 — Student Coaching
Each session supports students in building self-regulation and executive function skills — with some combination of real work completion, app and tech exploration, and structured discussion using the same frameworks parents learn about through PAUSE People coaching. The focus is on developing habits of planning, organization, and self-management that feel practical, sustainable, and confidence-building. In-person at The Lab is always preferable — but online is an option too.
Part 3 — Family Coaching
Lasting change happens when families are part of the process. Parent coaching sessions provide time to review progress, align expectations, and apply the PAUSE People System at home. These conversations strengthen routines, communication, and the family systems that make growth more sustainable.
Part 4 — Reflection & Renewal
Throughout, we pause together to reflect on progress and identify next steps. Some families meet their initial goals within one coaching cycle; others continue into new focus areas with a renewed sense of direction. This reflection keeps our work aligned, balanced, and meaningful.
How it comes to life
What We Work On
In-Person at the Lab for Greater Impact
-
Writing — A light-hearted, tech-focused approach that's frequently a game-changer for reluctant writers. The Lab has apps and extensions to explore and put to work immediately.
-
Math — Foundational skills built through hands-on activities, virtual manipulatives, and digital resources — identifying gaps and addressing them before they compound.
-
Sustaining Attention — The Lab is a space where students practice sustaining attention with all the right EF supports: timers, structured to-do lists, chunked work, and a calm environment.
-
Task Initiation — High- and low-tech tools, apps, and templates help students get started on tasks they'd otherwise avoid. Structured scaffolds reduce overwhelm and build the confidence to take first steps independently.
-
Emotional Regulation — Big emotions cool through supportive coaching, skill-building, and a calm environment — reducing emotional intensity and boosting motivation and engagement.
-
Assistive Technology — Students explore and practice the tools that boost productivity, comprehension, and independence — in a supported setting, while getting real work done.
-
Challenging Limiting Beliefs aks ANTS (automatic negative thoughts) — When students demonstrate their skills and talents, they become more open to new, positive, and motivating perspectives about themselves as learners.
-
Completion — "Done" requires more than wanting to be finished. Completion and reflection — not perfection — build a real sense of control over the learning process.
