01 Evaluation & Custom Program
Every family is different. I start with an evaluation — meeting with you and your child — and build a program specific to your family's needs, goals, and capacity. No one-size-fits-all curriculum, no canned advice.

About consulting
You're the one your child needs.
The phrase "kids from hard places" is shorthand for children who've had a rough start — early trauma, disrupted attachment, loss, or other behavioral challenges. Parenting them can be exhausting, confusing, and lonely, and it can be hard to find practical help that actually moves the needle at home.
My mission is simple: to equip you — the parent — to be the number one healing agent in your child's life. Not me, not a therapist down the street, not a program. You. I'll come alongside with practical, relationship-based tools grounded in TBRI and walk with you until those tools feel like second nature.
What I offer
Two ways I come alongside your family.
02 In-Home Training
A lot of the hardest moments happen at home — around transitions, bedtime, meals, homework. I'll come into your home and work with you in real time, so you're learning the tools in the exact context you'll use them.
My approach
Working myself out of a job.
The framework I teach is TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention), developed by Dr. Karyn Purvis at TCU's Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development. It's an attachment-based approach that hands caregivers concrete tools for empowering, connecting with, and gently correcting children who've been through hard things.
My goal is to hand those tools over fully — to train and support you until you no longer need me. Every family I work with, I want to see move toward greater and greater victory on the home front, between parent and child. That's what "working myself out of a job" means, and I mean it.
Frequently asked
Consulting FAQs.
How do I know if my child's behavior is "normal" or if I need extra help?
I offer a free 30-minute consultation to any family, no strings attached. We'll talk through what you're seeing at home and you can decide from there whether you'd like to pursue services.
How can you help?
I start with an evaluation — meeting with you and your child — and then build a program tailored to your family. I also do in-home training, where I work with you in real time on the situations that are actually hard. The whole approach is grounded in TBRI, which equips you, the parent, to be the primary agent of healing in your child's life.
How long will you work with me?
My goal is to work myself out of a job. By training you to be the primary "therapist" in your child's life, we move toward greater and greater victory on the home front. Some families need a handful of sessions; others want longer support. We'll figure out the right rhythm together.
How much does consulting cost?
There's an initial evaluation fee, then hourly consulting charges after that. Please reach out and I'll walk you through the specifics.
