Helping families and educators understand children's learning, behavior, and development, and know what to do next.

Serving Kennesaw, Marietta, Acworth, Metro Atlanta and families & organizations virtually.
Maybe your child is struggling at school but thriving at home. Maybe a behavior keeps happening. An evaluation contains plenty of information but leaves you unsure of what to do for everyday life.
Or perhaps you are supporting a student, classroom, or team and another generic list of strategies is not what you need.
I help connect the pieces: what we are observing, what the situation requires, which developmental skills may be involved, and what support could make daily life more manageable.
Understand what your child is communicating, recognize the skills and conditions affecting daily life, and leave with practical next steps.
Play-based developmental sessions, parent strategy support, developmental profiles, school collaboration, and transition planning.
Better understand the development underneath a child’s learning, behavior, regulation, participation, and independence.
Individual student consultation, classroom observation, educator coaching, collaborative planning, and practical support.
Turn developmental science into practical support for educators, children, and school communities.
Professional learning, workshops, classroom and program consultation, resource development, and customized organizational support.
Children do not experience learning, language, regulation, executive functioning, relationships, sensory processing, and independence as separate categories. These systems interact throughout everyday life.
Playful Pathways looks at the whole child within the actual environment, not simply a diagnosis, behavior, score, or isolated concern.
Behavior gets our attention.
Development helps us understand.
Practice creates growth.
I’m an educational psychologist, developmental specialist, consultant, and professional learning trainer.
My work brings together child development, educational psychology, classroom experience, family consultation, educator coaching, and research to answer one practical question:
What does this child need to participate, learn, and grow in this environment?
You do not need to know which service you need before reaching out. Tell me what you are noticing, and we will determine the most useful next step.
