I hold the whole picture
for your child.
I've spent 16 years at Landmark School, where I've worked closely with students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and executive function challenges. Now I'm bringing that experience into private practice, working with families at high-expectation schools whose children are bright, capable, and not yet performing to their potential. Some families need focused academic support in a specific subject. Others need someone to hold the whole picture. I work across that spectrum.
What I do
My role is to bridge the gap between what school expects and what your child can currently execute independently. I usually start by working alongside a student academically so I can see how they actually function. Having spent years in the classroom myself, I understand what teachers are actually asking for and I know how to help a student get there. After 16 years immersed in learning differences, I understand how these challenges show up in competitive school environments, and I know what it costs a student academically and emotionally to navigate them without the right support. I'm fluent in the IEP process: what it can do, what it often doesn't, and how to make sure your child's plan is actually serving them.
For some students, what's needed is consistent, skilled support in a specific subject. For others, the need is bigger: someone tracking what's happening across classes, at home, and in the spaces in between. The anxiety before a test, the relationship that fell apart, the year that's just been hard. I'm not a therapist, but I pay close attention. And when it's useful, I can work alongside the other people in your child's corner so everyone is moving in the same direction.
I don't promise grades. I promise consistency, self-awareness, and sustainable functioning.
Who this is for
Families who know their child has more in them than school is currently seeing, and want more than traditional tutoring. Someone who sees the full student, and stays in their corner.
"Your watchful and caring eye has given us more comfort than can be put into words. You gave our daughter a gift, always knowing she has someone in her corner. And you gave us peace, knowing that someone good and kind was paying such close attention to our girl."
— A parent

"We can't even tell you how much we appreciate the amazing work and advocacy you do for our son. He's on an upward trajectory academically because of your efforts and support. We have so much trust in you, and he does too. Can't ask for more than that."
— A parent
"I'm so thankful for everything you do. Always being there for me. From heartbreaks to help with my writing, I don't know what I would do without you."
— A student
"Our son trusts you and knows you have his back, and that allows him to accept the tough love that you occasionally have to dish out. We can't thank you enough for the genuine love you have extended to him throughout the year."
— A parent
"Not even just academically but emotionally you have helped me grow exponentially. I don't think I could have asked for a more patient yet direct and constructive teacher."
— A student
"You are like a role model to me. It might not seem like it, but every story you tell or idea to think about, I bring that lesson and apply it to my own life. I can already tell that you will be that teacher that I say made the biggest impact on me."
— A student
"I don't know what I would do without you, especially junior year. I used to not talk about my feelings to anyone, and you're the first person I opened up to. I know I can be a pain but I only do it because I'm so comfortable with you. Thank you for your pep talks — I do actually listen to them — and thank you for always making me laugh. I feel a lot more comfortable going to school now and a big part of that is because of you."
— A student
"Thank you for being you. You being you has taught me that I can always be myself and not feel like I will be judged."
