Trauma-informed consultation & support

Helping people make sense of what feels overwhelming.

Thoughtful, practical support for children, adolescents, parents, families, schools, and organizations—grounded in curiosity, connection, and the whole picture.

Support that meets people where they are.

Ways we can work together

Four clear ways to begin.

Choose the level of support that fits right now. Each path is designed to help make sense of the whole picture and identify practical next steps.

Ongoing Family Systems Consultation

Sometimes one consultation is enough. Other families benefit from continued support as circumstances change.

Support may include parent guidance, adolescent or young-adult consultation, family communication, emotional and behavioral concerns, executive functioning, independence, transitions, school or college planning, and coordination with other professionals.

My approach

Understanding comes before intervention.

My work is trauma-informed, relationship-centered, and rooted in both evidence and compassion. When people feel seen, understood, and supported, meaningful change becomes possible.

01

Curiosity before judgment

We begin with questions, not assumptions.

02

Connection before correction

Safety and trust create room for growth.

03

Practical over overwhelming

Strategies should make life easier—not add more to your plate.

04

Evidence-informed & relationship-centered

Research guides our steps; relationships help change last.

05

Collaborative, never prescriptive

You are the expert on your family, school, or organization.

06

Focused on the whole system

We look at the full picture because everyone is connected.

“What might this behavior, feeling, or struggle be trying to communicate?”

The Making Sense Of… series

Clear language for complicated experiences.

Resources, conversations, and learning experiences designed to turn uncertainty into understanding—and understanding into the next doable step.

For professional referrals

A collaborative resource when a family needs help making sense of the whole picture.

I welcome referrals from therapists, schools, physicians, nonprofits, and other providers. I help families connect evaluations, diagnoses, school information, provider recommendations, and day-to-day concerns into a practical plan—and coordinate with existing professionals when appropriate.

Frequently asked questions

It’s natural to have questions.

Here are some of the ones I hear most often. If you have a question that isn’t here, please ask.

01

Do I need to know exactly what my child needs?

No. Many families come in feeling unsure or overwhelmed. That’s exactly what we’ll figure out together.

02

Can both parents participate?

Absolutely. I welcome the involvement of any caregiver who is important to your child’s well-being. We’ll decide together what works best for your family.

03

Will you communicate with schools?

If it’s helpful for your child, yes. With your permission, I can collaborate with teachers and school teams to support consistency and understanding.

04

How long do families typically work together?

Every family is different. Some work with me for a short season to get clarity and a plan. Others choose longer-term support. We’ll decide together.

05

What does the first conversation look like?

It’s relaxed and informal. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you here, what you’re hoping for, and any immediate concerns. There’s no pressure.

06

What if we’ve tried things before?

You’re not alone. Many families have tried a lot. We’ll look at what has—and hasn’t—worked and use that information to guide our next steps together.

07

What if I’m not sure where to begin?

That’s exactly what the first conversation is for. You don’t have to have it figured out to reach out.

08

How do you protect our privacy?

Your privacy is important. I follow strict confidentiality guidelines and will always explain limits to confidentiality clearly. You’re in safe hands.

A meaningful first step
