Children spend a significant portion of their day in school, making it a vital setting for their academic, social, and emotional development. With over 14 years of experience as a school social worker across all grade levels—and a specialized certification in school social work—I have deep insight into how school systems operate and how to effectively support students within them.

Through school consultation, I conduct classroom observations and gather relevant data to better understand the challenges interfering with your child’s success. This process informs a comprehensive assessment that identifies the functions of undesirable behaviors and guides targeted interventions to replace those behaviors. I work collaboratively with teachers and school staff to strengthen classroom-wide strategies and develop individualized behavior intervention plans—helping your child feel more confident, connected, and capable in their school environment. School consultations are valuable for students with IEPs, 504 plans, or for parents seeking effective ways to advocate for their child’s educational needs.
