Therapeutic Tutoring
Academic, organizational, and overall support for students in grades K through 11
Every student and human can grow to meet their potential. Each child deserves to embrace the learning process, feel positive as a student, and develop skills that will aid in academic, social, and emotional success both in the present and throughout life
As a teacher for 25 years and a school-based mental health counselor, I have built an extensive toolbox to help students with a range of classroom challenges. I began as a primary-grades classroom teacher and earned my Master’s degree in Education as a Consulting Teacher of Reading. I transitioned to a Learning Specialist role serving grades K-8. I supported students with specific learning, reading, ADHD, and executive function challenges related to initiation, shifting focus, working memory, emotional regulation, planning, time management, organizing materials, and self-monitoring progress and performance. I am an Orton-Gillingham Certified tutor and Executive Functioning coach. I have worked with children, families, neuropsychologists, and school personnel to meet each student's individual needs and provide accommodations as needed. I also have an MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I create a therapeutic tutoring environment that helps each child build self-confidence, realize their potential, and use strengths to address areas of challenge.

About Me
With master's degrees in Education (M.Ed.) and Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC), I bring a unique combination of educational experience and clinical training to my work. My goal is to support the whole person by helping clients recognize their strengths, navigate challenges, and reach their potential emotionally, mentally, and academically.
With 25 years of experience as an educator and five years as a therapeutic tutor working with students in grades 1–10, I have developed a deep understanding of children, adolescents, and the challenges they face. I work with clients navigating neurodivergence, learning differences, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and executive functioning challenges, while recognizing how these experiences can affect emotional well-being, self-esteem, and daily life.
As a strengths-based clinician, I use a compassionate, individualized, and multimodal approach to help clients build emotional awareness, strengthen cognitive and emotional regulation skills, and develop confidence and resilience. I meet each client where they are, honor their individual experiences, and create a supportive environment where they feel heard, understood, and empowered.
I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to succeed, develop a positive sense of self, and discover their own strengths. My 30 years of experience working with diverse individuals across a variety of settings have reinforced the importance of empathy, connection, and individualized care. My hope is to help each client recognize their potential, build resilience, and feel more confident in who they are and who they can become.
