How I Work:
My goal is to help you shift the culture of your environment, not just implement a program.
Together, we will:
Start with the goals and needs you identify
Build a plan that works for your space, your people, and your values
Create a system that’s sustainable and adaptable
Make sure all communication styles and abilities are supported
Where My Experience Shines:

Supporting multi-abled classrooms
Bringing restorative practices into higher education spaces
Restorative Practices & Special Education Support
One powerful, but often overlooked, application of restorative practices is within special education structures. I help teams shift away from traditional behavioral modification models and instead build systems rooted in relationship, regulation, and understanding.
This includes support in developing:
FBAs (Functional Behavioral Assessments) grounded in connection, safety, communication differences, and sensory needs
BIPs (Behavior Intervention Plans or Variations) that reflect student strengths and neuroaffirming strategies
Student Behavior Plans that meet the underlying need and build skills instead of focusing on compliance
Classroom Management Plans that support autonomy, voice, and regulation
Structures that replace token systems, punishment models, and compliance-based strategies with restorative, inclusive, and dignity-centered approaches
The goal isn’t to “fix behavior”—it’s to understand the person, reduce stressors, build relationships, and create environments where students feel safe showing up authentically.

Neuro Affirming Practices
Are you newly diagnosed and looking to explore what that means for you?
Do you know someone neurodivergent and want to improve your understanding, communication, and/or advocacy amongst neurotypes?
Do you sometimes feel misunderstood or misperceived?
Are you looking to learn more about the educational process and how to advocate for your learning needs or preferences?
This may be a good fit for you. Together we will explore what you already know about yourself, what you are hoping to learn about yourself, and most importantly how to empower yourself to meet your needs!
