Good therapy for a child only goes so far if the environments they spend most of their time in don't understand them. That's where consultation comes in.

I offer consultation to schools, early childhood programs, pediatric practices, and other organizations working with children and families. These are ongoing relationships, not one-time check-ins — the kind of collaboration where I get to understand your setting, your staff, and the specific challenges you're navigating, and offer support that actually fits.

I have consulted with schools and organizations across the Bay Area and provided trainings to educators on topics including child development, emotional regulation, trauma, neurodiversity, and how to build environments where kids feel genuinely safe and understood. This work looks different depending on the setting, but the through line is always the same: helping the adults around a child understand what that child is communicating, and respond in ways that actually help.

Consultation might look like working alongside teachers and school counselors to better understand a child's behavior. It might mean helping an early intervention program think through how they're approaching neurodivergent children and families. It might involve ongoing staff training, support around a specific child or classroom dynamic, or broader organizational thinking about how your team shows up for the kids and families you serve.

I bring a child-directed, neurodiversity-affirming lens to all of this work. That means I'm not coming in with a rigid curriculum or a one-size-fits-all framework. I'm interested in what your team is already doing well, where things feel stuck, and how to build capacity from the inside out.

If you're a therapist or clinician looking for professional consultation on cases involving young children, neurodivergent clients, or child-directed play therapy, I offer that as well. Clinical consultation is a space to think carefully about the work, get curious about what a child might be communicating, and stay grounded in a relational, child-led approach.

Organizations, schools, and clinicians interested in working together are welcome to reach out.
