Testing, therapy, & educational consulting for children, teens, & young adults

Earlier this summer, I shared my thoughts on Lighthouse Parenting with .

This week, I was featured again— this time on Elephant Parenting 🐘

I love being part of these bigger conversations, because they always circle back to what I see every day in my work here in Central Florida: parents just want to know they’re doing enough to help their kids thrive 💛

So tell me..which style feels more like you?

It’s all fun and games..until you realize your kid’s behavior actually has a function 😅 
Bedtime battles? Homework tears? Tantrums over the blue cup? Yep— there’s a why behind it.

What’s the one behavior at your house you’d love to figure out?

They look peaceful now. Just wait until Monday at 7:43am.

Back-to-school anxiety isn’t always tears. It’s: 😵 “I feel sick” 😤 “You’re the worst” 😩 “I’m not going”

Not a behavior problem. A brain-in-survival-mode problem.

What helps: ✅ Stay calm (they borrow your vibe) ✅ Name the fear (don’t solve it— see it) ✅ Keep goodbyes short (lingering = panic spiral)

You’ve got this. Even if you also want to cry in the car.

Focus, flexibility, and follow-through— not always easy for our ADHD kids (or their grown-ups!). These are the tools we actually use and recommend in our office every week.

🧠 Sensory-friendly 🔁 Routine-ready 📦 Amazon-accessible (because easy matters)

This list was made with real families in mind— the ones who are doing their best to help their child thrive with a brain that works a little differently. You can view the full roundup (and shop the tools) via the link in our bio 🤎

A lot of kids are seeing scary headlines this week — even if you haven’t brought it up at home.

When something devastating happens (like the flooding in Texas), kids don’t need perfect explanations. They need to feel safe, loved, and heard.

Swipe for a few ways to talk with your child about a crisis — even when you’re not sure what to say 💛

Big news! I’m so honored to be featured in ‘s latest article on Lighthouse Parenting—a concept I love both personally and professionally.

I got to share some thoughts on how we can step back, trust our kids, and still show up as the calm, steady guide they need—especially when life gets messy.

I’m proud to be included alongside other experts in a conversation that I hope makes parents feel seen and supported.

Not everything has to be fixed. Some things just want to be felt.

Therapy isn’t about perfecting your child or “fixing” their behavior. It’s about slowing down, getting curious, and understanding what’s really going on underneath.

If you’ve been carrying the weight of worry, we’re here to help lighten the load.

💬 Not sure where to start? Feel free to reach out—we’re always happy to chat and point you in the right direction.

Supporting LGBTQ+ kids isn’t political. It’s protective.

It protects their mental health. It protects their self-worth. It protects their lives.

Just because school is out doesn’t mean everything gets easier. For many LGBTQ+ kids, summer can actually feel harder — fewer routines, fewer affirming adults, and more time in environments where they don’t fully feel seen.

One safe, supportive adult can make all the difference. Be that one 💛

Just a little peek into one of my favorite corners of the office.
 Calm colors? Check. Cozy textures? Yep. A basket labeled TOYS because subtlety isn’t my thing? You know it.
 I’m a school psychologist, not an interior designer—but creating a space where kids feel safe, seen, and at ease? That part I take seriously.
 We’re currently booking summer evaluations—reach out if you’re hoping to get a head start before school starts back up.

Does your teen want friends..but has no idea how to make them?

Maybe she overthinks everything she says. Maybe she freezes up in social settings, or feels like she’s always on the outside of the group chat. 
Maybe she really wants connection — but just doesn’t know where to start. That’s exactly who this group is for.

Confidence & Connection is a 6-week summer group for teen girls who want to feel a little more confident, a little less anxious, and a little more like themselves around other people.

It’s not group therapy. It’s not a social skills class. It’s just a space to show up, practice real-life friendship stuff, and feel less alone.

🗓 Tuesdays • 3–4 PM 📍 Maitland, FL 💵 $125/session • Private pay only 👧 Ages 14–16 (slightly younger/older considered)

Spots are limited (I keep the group intentionally small).
 Scan the QR code on the flyer or tap the link in bio to grab a spot.

Let’s help her feel seen this summer 💬
