When communication difficulties get in the way at home or school, it can be hard to know what to try next. I help you understand what may be happening, choose useful everyday strategies, and review how they work.
We meet virtually for a focused consultation package, with an agreed scope, budget, and endpoint.

A Book for Parents
I also wrote a practical guide for parents — one that grew out of my years of clinical work and the everyday realities families face.
The philosophy behind the book reflects the same approach that guides my consulting work: Children do best when the adults around them understand the reasons behind their challenges and create environments where they can succeed.
