1. Fill out Interest Form to ensure fit
2. Initial Consultation: You tell me about the issue and we'll begin building a personalized step-by-step plan. I will meet the child and, if needed, complete a direct assessment with the child. We will then determine best approach for helping your child, whether that's purely parent coaching sessions, a mix of parent coaching and direct sessions with your child, virtual, or in-person.
3. Sessions: Even if direct sessions with your child are needed, I will move instruction from me to you as quickly as possible. It is not useful if the child does not participate without me present. You'll learn how to guide progress with calm, consistent tools.

💰 Rates & Sliding Scale
Supporting Access to Care

I believe behavior support should be accessible to families regardless of income, and I offer a sliding scale to help make that possible.All services are billed directly to families. I do not accept insurance.Initial Assessment (45 minutes) – $195
This first meeting helps us understand your child’s history, your goals, and the specific challenges you are facing around medical, dental, or health-related routines. We will look at things like sensory sensitivities, past appointment experiences, and current behaviors. Whether your child resists toothbrushing, panics at the sight of a syringe, or hides during checkups, we will start identifying what’s driving those responses and how we can build trust and cooperation. Often there are component skills adjacent to the main goal that need to be identified and addressed as well. From this appointment, I will build a comprehensive plan.Ongoing Therapy Sessions (60 minutes) – $165
These sessions help your child build confidence, participation, and self-advocacy through shaping and coping strategies. I'll work directly with your child on skills to access care without distress. I also might instead coach you, the parents and caregivers, on implementing care routines or teach you to prepare your child leading up to medical visits. Each step is matched to your child’s pace and willingness and designed to fit your family and child's needs.🏥 Appointment Support (Medical, Dental Visits, or Salon Hair Cuts) – $180
Before the appointment, I will write up a behavior support plan for the provider based on the initial assessment or therapy session. I will join you virtually or in person during your child’s appointment to reduce fear, improve cooperation, and protect long-term trust. This includes real-time coaching for your child, guidance for providers on pacing, and live adjustments to avoid retraumatization or restraint. This service is especially useful when your child has had past negative experiences or shows high anxiety around appointments.Quick Parent Consult (20 Minutes – $65)Need strategies fast? Our 20-minute consult is designed for parents who want targeted, practical advice to help their child through a specific healthcare routine or upcoming appointment.This service is educational and coaching-based. A quick boost of behavior support when you need it most. If ongoing therapy or a more comprehensive plan is needed, we’ll guide you on next steps.Sliding Scale Access
