Meet Amy
educator, coach, mentor
When my son was in 3rd grade, the psychologist who evaluated him said,
“It is unlikely that he will be successful in public school.”
I remember welling up… and saying nothing. Yes he will, I thought.
What followed were years of advocacy, IEP meetings, therapy, sensory supports, and an ocean of patience. By high school, he had finally begun to adjust… but I knew there was more beneath the surface. Then one day, he said, “Mom, living inside my head is like living with a toddler. I keep doing things I don't want to.”
As both an educator and a mom with ADHD, I recognized that struggle… the brilliance wrapped in chaos, the deep potential just waiting for tools and understanding. He was entering adolescence and he needed executive functioning skills. A few short years later he is navigating college with more skills, self awareness, and grit.
Now, I help neurodivergent teens, young adults, and their families bridge that same gap between dependence and independence through executive function coaching, parent guidance, and transition support.
With over two decades of experience in education and specialized training in neurodiversity-informed instruction, I bring compassion, structure, and a deep understanding of how learning and living uniquely intertwine.
I am in awe of the uniquely brilliant young people who I work with. I have amassed countless tools, not just accommodations or bypasses, but practices that enable resilience and growth. By modeling for my clients how radical acceptance works, I serve to clear a path for a lifetime of developing their capacity for connecting with their world in a way that honors their unique talents and needs and enables a joyful life.
