About Me

I am a licensed Educational Therapist and Anti-Boring Trained Coach based out of Portland, Oregon. I identify and remediate specific learning challenges for students aged 11 to 21. Many of my clients have ADHD or other executive functioning challenges. My goal is to help students become independent learners by teaching them effective and intentional strategies for retaining information. I also support my students in honing their time management, organizational, and self advocacy skills. Together we identify the barriers to their current learning and develop a plan to ensure that they have the proper tools, the necessary team, the essential routines, and the positive self talk required to overcome their challenges. As a member of the Association of Educational Therapists (AET), I am committed to upholding and advancing our Code of Ethics and Standards for Professional Practice. Additionally, I have been trained in Gretchen Wegner’s online curriculum, the Anti-Boring Approach to Powerful Studying.

When I’m not working, I like to spend time with my friends trying out local restaurants and the newest food carts. Some of my hobbies include hiking, yoga, biking, and camping. When I have an opportunity to watch a TV show, I like to indulge in the latest Star Trek series or The Great North cartoon.

Brain Theory

Brain Theory

If we understand how the brain learns, then we can learn anything. I take the time to teach each of my students a little bit of brain theory to help them better understand themselves.

Strategize

Strategize

Students need a plan for studying, and most don't know where to start. I help students come up with a specific study plan so that they can prove their learning most effectively.

Goal Oriented

Goal Oriented

People are motivated when they have a purpose. My students create short and long term goals to maintain their focus, monitor their progress, and feel a sense of accomplishment in school and beyond.
