I break complex tasks into manageable parts, use visuals and movement-based supports, and incorporate routines that promote independence and confidence.

Who I Teach:
I have extensive experience supporting children with learning differences, attention challenges, and those navigating transitions (such as adopted students or those with anxiety). My expertise spans classroom, small group, and individualized instruction in both in-person and virtual formats.
