Making Life Easier
Executive functioning plays a crucial role in everyday life—it's what helps us plan, stay organized, manage time, control impulses, and problem-solve. When executive functioning skills are weak or inconsistent, it can affect everything from school performance to relationships, work success, and even day-to-day tasks. For teens and adults with ADHD or other executive function challenges, navigating these areas can feel overwhelming.
That’s where I come in. I’m a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with over 25 years of experience. I specialize in helping teens and adults enhance executive functioning skills through individualized, research-driven strategies. My approach focuses on building a personalized "toolbox" tailored to each client's unique needs and challenges.
Additionally, I offer parent coaching to families of children with ADHD, executive function difficulties, and other behavioral challenges. My goal is to support parents in creating a more organized, calm, and successful family dynamic.
I’m dedicated to empowering families and individuals with the tools they need to thrive, and I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward greater success and harmony.
