Children have an incredible way of reminding us that there is more than one right way to think.

​

For more than 15 years, I've had the privilege of helping children, teens, and families better understand ADHD, autism, executive functioning, learning differences, anxiety, and emotional development. Along the way, I've discovered that parents, teachers, and even children themselves often aren't looking for more labels—they're looking for understanding.

​

That belief has shaped everything I do.

​​​

As a clinical psychologist, author, and speaker, my mission is to help people understand different ways of thinking so they can build stronger relationships at home, at school, and in life.

To help make complex ideas easier to understand, I developed The Control Tower Model™, a practical framework that explains executive functioning in a way children, parents, educators, and therapists can easily understand and use together. I also created Wagon Wheels and Ladders™, a simple way to recognize that people naturally think, solve problems, and approach the world in different ways—and that those differences can become strengths when we understand them.

​

Whether I'm conducting an evaluation, speaking to educators, writing books, or working with families, my goal is always the same: to replace confusion with understanding, frustration with connection, and self-doubt with confidence.

​

Before becoming a psychologist, I spent years in the business world before returning to graduate school as an adult to earn two master's degrees and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. That journey gave me a deep appreciation for lifelong learning, the courage it takes to embrace new challenges, and the many paths people take toward meaningful work and personal growth.

​

Today, I'm honored to support families through my clinical practice, speak to audiences across the country, and create books and resources that help children discover their incredible brains while helping the adults who love them see those children in new ways.

​

Because when we understand how people think...

we build stronger relationships.

And stronger relationships help children thrive.

​

I'm so glad you're here.

​

Whether you're a parent searching for answers, a teacher looking for new ideas, a therapist supporting children, or someone who simply wants to better understand the incredible ways people think, I hope you'll find resources here that encourage, equip, and inspire you.

Welcome.
