Transformational, Research-Based Literacy Support

Building a Classroom Partnership for Lasting Impact
I work alongside educators in a coaching partnership that is job-embedded, strengths-based, and grounded in evidence. Together we co-design goals, study student work, and practice high-leverage moves in real classrooms with modeling, feedback, and reflection. I make complex research usable, build shared routines that stick, and align efforts across roles so learning is consistent for students. The result is precise, measurable growth alongside a shared practice that feels focused, supportive, and energizing.
On-Site Residencies
-
Bring the Learning to Your School
Professional development shouldn't feel like something that happens to your staff. It should feel like something that happens with them. On-Site Residencies are designed for K–8 teachers, instructional coaches, interventionists, and school leaders who are ready to move beyond surface-level training and build something that actually sticks.
Over several 2–4-day cycles, teachers and interventionists gain hands-on experience through lab sites, individual coaching, and targeted support tailored to their specific roles.
Because the teacher in the classroom and the interventionist working with your most struggling readers have different needs, and both deserve to have those needs met.
We also work at the school-wide level: curriculum mapping, collaborative study groups, and developing a shared vision statement that serves as a north star for your whole team.
This isn't a quick fix. It's a real investment in your educators, and in every student who will sit in their classrooms for years to come.
Learning Institutes
-
Deep Dive. Real Tools. Lasting Change.
Some topics deserve more than an afternoon. Learning Institutes are an immersive 2–5-day experience designed for educators who want to go beyond the basics and really sink their teeth into a subject.
Think of it as a mini course of study: focused, collaborative, and designed to send you back to your school with things you can actually use.
Over consecutive days, we dig into a topic together with the kind of depth that one-off workshops simply can't offer.
You'll build practical tools to support your own classroom practice, develop routines for ongoing collaboration with your colleagues, and learn how to take key pieces of reading and literacy research off the page and put them to work where it matters most: in front of your students.
This is professional learning that respects your intelligence, values your time, and trusts that when teachers are given the right knowledge and the right support, remarkable things happen.
Literacy Coaching
-
Better Coaches Make Better Schools.
Instructional coaches are only as effective as the support system around them. When coaches are clear on their purpose, equipped with the right content knowledge, and connected to school leadership, everything works better for them, for teachers, and ultimately for kids.
This engagement is designed specifically for district and building-based coaches who are ready to sharpen their practice and lead with confidence.
We work together to build the structures that make coaching actually work: aligning coaches and administrators around shared goals, creating coaching cycles that are realistic and sustainable, and ensuring coaches have a deep enough grasp of the content that their conversations with teachers go somewhere meaningful.
We also roll up our sleeves on the practical stuff: developing content for grade-level meetings, preparing coaches to facilitate those conversations effectively, and building the routines that turn one-time learning into ongoing growth.
Because a great coach doesn't just support teachers. They change the culture of a building.
Dyslexia-Focused Structured Literacy Instruction
I provide individualized and comprehensive reading and writing instruction for learners with dyslexia, for those who show characteristics of dyslexia, and for those who want a boost in proficiency. Instruction is rooted in Orton-Gillingham and follows principles of a multisensory structured language approach that is meaningful, long-lasting and JOYFUL. As a Certified Dyslexia Therapist Candidate through The APPLE Group, the only International Dyslexia Association-accredited program of its kind, I design lessons that are precise, measurable, and tailored to each learner. I will work alongside your school's in-house education team to support a truly collaborative relationship that enhances your students growth, regardless of age or grade.
Dyslexia Testing

Finally. Real Answers About Your Child's Reading.
If you've been wondering whether your child has dyslexia, or you already suspect it and need documentation to back you up, you're in the right place. I use the Test of Dyslexia – Comprehensive (TOD-C), a thorough, research-based assessment that goes well beyond a quick screener.
The TOD-C evaluates key skills associated with dyslexia: phonological awareness, decoding, spelling, rapid naming, and more. When we're done, you won't walk away with a vague "she might need some extra support." You'll have a clear, detailed picture of how your child's brain processes written language, along with the documentation to back it up.
That matters enormously when you're sitting at an IEP table. Results from the TOD-C can help establish eligibility for special education services, support requests for specific accommodations, and give your child's team a roadmap for instruction that actually fits how they learn.
You'll have the language, the data, and the confidence to advocate, because you'll know exactly what you're asking for and why.
The TOD-C is available for students K through adult. Whether your child is just starting school or has been struggling for years without answers, it's never too late to get clarity.
You deserve answers. Your child deserves support. Let's get started.
Dyslexia Therapy

This Is Not Tutoring. This Is Therapy.
There's a big difference between helping a child get through tonight's homework and actually changing how their brain reads. Dyslexia therapy does the second thing.
It's specialized, structured instruction that targets the root cause of reading difficulty, the way the brain processes sounds, language, and print, not just the symptoms showing up on a report card.
The research is clear: with the right instruction and the right dosage, dyslexic brains can begin to look and function like non-dyslexic brains. That's neuroscience. Two sessions a week, one hour each, consistently delivered is the formula that builds new neural pathways and makes reading stick.
I use The APPLE Group for Dyslexia model, a Structured Literacy approach grounded in peer-reviewed research and accredited by the International Dyslexia Association (IDA). This model is the only dyslexia therapy program to earn that distinction.
And this isn't something I just studied in a classroom.
I bring hundreds of supervised clinical hours to every session, which means your child is working with someone who has seen this process play out, refined their practice, and knows how to meet kids where they are.
Sessions are available in-person or virtually, so geography doesn't have to be a barrier to getting your child what they need.
This is targeted, evidence-based instruction designed for how dyslexic brains actually work.
Your child's brain can change. Let's get to work.
IEP + Advocacy Support
-
You Shouldn't Have to Walk Into That Meeting Alone.
IIEP meetings can feel like walking into someone else's world: a room full of educators using terms you've never heard, decisions moving fast, and your child's future sitting right there on the table.
Most parents leave unsure of what just happened, or quietly wondering if they should have pushed harder. That feeling is exhausting, and you deserve better than that.
I want you to know that you don't have to walk in there unprepared, and you don't have to walk in there alone. I've spent years learning how schools work, what the research says, and what truly effective dyslexia support looks like, and I'm here to share all of that with you.
Whether your child already has an IEP that isn't working, you're just starting the evaluation process, or you need someone who can sit beside you and speak the language of the room, I'm here for all of it.
Every service I offer comes back to the same thing: making sure your child gets the right support, in writing, from the people responsible for their education. You know your child better than anyone in that room. My job is to make sure that knowledge has real power behind it.
Let's take a look at what support makes sense for where you are right now.
