Guidance sessions are a space to move from overwhelm toward greater ease. We look closely at your child’s needs, your family rhythms, and the places where you feel stuck — whether that’s navigating learning differences, ADHD, or attention challenges at home or school. From there, I offer practical strategies, developmental insight, and tools that fit with your values and daily life. While these sessions are primarily for parents, I also work individually with high school students who may benefit from learning strategies, executive functioning support, confidence-building, and gentle shifts in habits and routines that support long-term well-being.

Schedule your virtual parent guidance session today and begin finding steadier day-to-day life at home.

frequently asked questions

How are guidance sessions different from therapy?

Guidance sessions are not therapy. They are short-term, practical, and focused on the parent–child relationship. Sessions may address everyday parenting challenges, learning differences, ADHD, or attention struggles, always with a whole-child lens. If therapy or longer-term treatment is needed, I’ll help connect you with the right professional.

Do you ever meet directly with children?

Guidance sessions are primarily for parents, though I also work individually with high school students who may benefit from learning strategies, executive functioning support, and confidence-building.

How do I schedule a session?

When you click “Book a Session,” you’ll be taken to my secure scheduling page. From there, you can choose a time that works best for you. Before confirming, you’ll be prompted to set up a Client Portal account. This gives you a simple way to manage appointments, complete intake forms, and make payments all in one place.

What is your cancellation policy?

We ask for 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Sessions canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice are still billed at the full fee.

How much do sessions cost?

Guidance sessions are $180 per 1 hour session.

Do you take insurance?

I do not bill insurance directly. Some families are able to use HSA/FSA funds, depending on their plan.

Can I book just one session?

Yes. Some families find value in a single session, while others choose to return for ongoing support. Sessions may address immediate parenting concerns, learning differences, or ADHD-related challenges.

Every family and child are unique, and meaningful support begins with a clear, connected conversation. Guidance Sessions offer a focused space to talk through what feels hard and what matters most. You’ll leave with practical tools and gentle, sustainable shifts to support everyday family life.
