Unfortunately, no. Insurance doesn’t cover my services.

Therapeutic services have some overlap with mine, but a therapist will help you and your family process much more specific things. They may not be creating plans with you, but they will guide you to develop insight into challenges you’re experiencing and possible changes to help you achieve your goals.

I use my professional experience to develop concrete plans to support around executive functioning, academic supports. I can coach and create roadmaps with clients, pointing people in a direction together.

Therapists do the feelings work, I get to do the planning work.

So yes, but only kinda. Since I’m not a cognitive psychologist or therapist, I don’t provide diagnostic testing or mental health services.

However, I can complete assessments considered Level B. These are standardized academic and psychological tests which illustrate a child’s strengths and deficits. I can also write a report interpreting these test results, which, in turn, can be used to drive IEP services or instruction.

I can also complete anecdotal behavioral observations, and I can help steer families to community-based supports, including therapists, clinicians, related service providers, parent support groups, and books/websites.

NOPE. I am definitely not a lawyer. However, as we work together, I may be able to help you decide if you should seek legal representation, and I can collaborate with any representation you may choose.

With family coaching I can help anyone because we’re working on overall skills, not necessarily just school-based.

With advocacy or consultation, though I can still probably help! No matter the educational setting, all children legally have the right to a free and appropriate public education (called FAPE) that meets their educational needs.

My focus is on helping families in Oregon and the surrounding areas — Washington and California — but I’m open to helping folks wherever they may be. I’m available for consultation with out-of-state clients on a case by case basis. Remote consultation is available for international clients involved with DoDEA.

Although there aren’t really rules about it, the answer is yes. I will only discuss our work to another party with your explicit permission.

As I am a mandated reporter, I would also have to report if there is a safety concern.
