My work in child development began in early intervention, supporting young children with autism and their families. Sitting on living room floors with parents, I saw firsthand how complex and overwhelming daily life can feel when a child is struggling.

​

As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I worked with children across settings and began to recognize a consistent pattern: what looks like “behavior” is often a breakdown in executive functioning—difficulties with starting, regulating, transitioning, and following through.

​

That insight became personal when one of my own children was diagnosed with ADHD. It changed how I understood everything. What once felt like resistance began to make sense.

Instead of asking, “Why won’t they do this?” I began asking, “Where is it breaking down?”

​

That question now guides all of my work. I help parents identify where executive functioning is breaking down in everyday situations and how to respond with the right support—so things feel less frustrating and more manageable at home.

​

As children grow, I also support them in building awareness of their own patterns, helping them take more ownership and move toward independence over time.

​

The goal isn’t perfection—it’s creating systems that work for your child, your family, and real life.
