How I Help

I help middle and high school leaders build clear, consistent, developmentally aligned systems that reduce reactivity, increase teacher consistency, and create the conditions where students and adults can thrive.

My work blends systems redesign, adolescent development, collective efficacy, and practical behavior frameworks to support schools in building predictable, human-centered structures—at the classroom, leadership, and schoolwide levels.

Whether you’re seeking schoolwide MTSS redesign, individualized leadership coaching, or research-based professional learning for teachers, I bring a calm, clear, developmentally grounded approach that leads to steady, visible progress.

MTSS Redesign Coaching for Schools & Teams

For principals, MTSS leads, and leadership teams

Build Coherent, Human-Centered Systems That Work

Many schools struggle not because adults don’t care, but because systems are fragmented, reactive, or misaligned with adolescent development.
