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.
You do not have to sort through it alone
You may not need another recommendation. You may need help connecting the ones you already have.
Families often reach out when there is plenty of information—but no clear, workable plan for what happens next.
- You have evaluations, diagnoses, school records, or provider recommendations that do not yet feel connected.
- Your child is bright and capable, but overwhelmed, disorganized, anxious, shutting down, or avoiding school.
- Home and school seem to be seeing different versions of the same child.
- Homework, routines, independence, or communication have become sources of repeated family conflict.
- Several professionals are involved, but no one is helping organize the whole picture.
- A transition—into a new school, high school, college, or adulthood—feels uncertain or increasingly urgent.
You do not need to know which service to choose before reaching out.
Talk it through with meWays 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.
Comprehensive Consultation + Records Review
For families who already have evaluations, IEP/504 documents, school records, diagnoses, provider recommendations, or other information—and need help understanding what it all means and what to do next.
Includes an extensive, in-depth review of all submitted evaluations, IEP/504 documents, school records, diagnoses, provider recommendations, and other relevant materials before we meet. Depending on the volume and complexity of the records, this preparation may involve several hours of careful review, organization, and synthesis. The 60-minute individualized consultation then focuses on identifying priorities, connecting the pieces, and developing practical next steps.
Consultation fee$350

Request Advocacy SupportMy 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.
Curiosity before judgment
We begin with questions, not assumptions.
Connection before correction
Safety and trust create room for growth.
Practical over overwhelming
Strategies should make life easier—not add more to your plate.
Evidence-informed & relationship-centered
Research guides our steps; relationships help change last.
Collaborative, never prescriptive
You are the expert on your family, school, or organization.
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?”

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
