Welcome! I'm so happy you're here.


Calling all parents & caregivers of neurodiverse children:

If you're struggling with your child's challenging behaviors, you're in the right place. Join us to learn research-backed, life-tested behavior-change tools that will bring more peace and ease to your home.

What to Expect in this Course

  • The Goal

    My intention is to provide you with the foundational concepts of behavior change AND walk you through simple tools you can start using right away to navigate and avoid challenging behavior. The goal is that you leave this course feeling better equipped for hard behavior moments, more confident in your strategies, and ready to create more ease in your home.

  • What's Included

    This course includes 32 lessons divided into 8 modules. Each module includes videos, content slides, and corresponding worksheets. We've kept the videos short so that you can take in this course in bite-sized pieces whenever it is convenient. These mini videos make it easy to rewatch particular videos and review the material as needed.

  • Course Delivery

    Once you purchase the course you'll immediately have lifetime access to all of the modules. I recommend you go through the course in order, as the content builds on concepts introduced in previous modules. This is a self-paced course that you can move through in your own time and review as much as you'd like.
