If your child struggles to make progress with their academics…continues to bring home low or failing grades..if you find homework sessions lasting 2, 3, or more hours…if you feel that something is not “clicking” with your child…they’re constantly losing homework, keys…frequently distracted…diminishing self-esteem… this message is for you. Here’s why…
You can finally discover what is truly holding your child back from their learning potential as we uncover hidden barriers to academic, social, and emotional progress.
And it’s important to realize that the longer your child struggles, the more difficult, discouraged, and despondent they may become.
If you think “it will get better” but have not taken steps to uncover what your child needs to thrive, it just gets worse (and your child continues to fall further and further behind).
When facing learning difficulties with their child, most parents hope and pray that “it’s just a rough year” and try to “wait it out.”
You may take away privileges and technology at home, constantly email your child’s teachers to ask for extra work or more time for assignments, or even switch schools looking for the “right program” to help your child.
But without uncovering what is truly at the core of your child’s learning difficulty, most of these efforts do not produce results that move your child forward. This is usually because:
I help caring and overwhelmed parents to find solutions for their children who struggle to learn.
I get to the root of your child’s learning and social difficulties using culturally appropriate assessment and evaluation methods so that you know what supports your child needs to learn their best.
When families first come in, they have been through countless parent-teacher conferences, a fair share of failed tests, missing homework assignments, and very few answers about what kind of help their child needs.
Like my clients, you deserve answers. You know your child is smart and that if you could just get the RIGHT supports that are specific to THEIR needs, things might change.
Parents, we work together as a team to discover the best conditions for your child to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.
We work with a variety of insurance providers. We will verify in advance to determine if we are in network with your provider.

Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that impacts a child’s reading ability. Characteristics include poor spelling, poor phonemic awareness, difficulty with rapid naming, and limited alphabet knowledge.
A learning disability can impact an individual across a variety of settings. These settings include work, school, recreational, and community settings. Individuals with learning difficulties may be less affected by their challenges. Learning difficulties can be short-lived. But learning difficulties and learning disabilities can impact students learning experiences.
A learning disability can impact students’ skills and ability to keep up in class. Learning disabilities can also negatively impact a student’s self-esteem and behavior. Lack of support also affects students with learning disabilities.
Individuals with ADHD may experience significant challenges with getting started on tasks. ADHD impacts time management, task prioritization, task organization, level of interest, and self-efficacy. Each skill interacts with an individual’s ability to get started on a task, playing a vital role in whether we start or not.
