School Partnerships

SEL and behavior support built around your school.

Customized social-emotional learning, behavior consultation, and staff support designed around your students, your educators, and your school's unique priorities.

Every school community is different. Your students, staff, culture, and priorities should shape the support you provide, not the other way around.

I partner with private schools, microschools, and other educational programs to provide customized social-emotional learning, behavioral consultation, and staff support designed around the needs of your community.

Let's Talk About Your School

Customized programming • On-site support • Staff consultation

Supporting the whole child takes more than a curriculum.

Schools are increasingly supporting students with a wide range of social, emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs. But even the best curriculum can fall short when students struggle to apply those skills during the moments they actually need them.

Effective support requires more than teaching a weekly lesson. It means understanding which skills students need, why challenges are occurring, and how adults can help students practice those skills throughout the school day.

Teach the Skills

Explicitly teach regulation, social communication, problem-solving, executive functioning, and other foundational skills.

Put Them Into Practice

Help students use what they are learning during real-life interactions, challenges, transitions, and classroom situations.

Support the Adults

Give educators practical strategies for responding consistently and reinforcing those same skills throughout the school day.

A MORE INTEGRATED APPROACH

Social-emotional skills don't develop simply because a child watched a video or participated in a classroom activity.

Students need opportunities to practice, receive feedback, problem-solve, and use those skills in the environments where challenges actually happen.

My approach combines direct instruction with observation, real-time coaching, behavioral consultation, and collaboration with educators so that skills taught during structured lessons can become skills students actually use.

Teach it. Practice it. Use it in real life.

THREE WAYS I SUPPORT SCHOOLS

Partnerships can be customized based on your student population, existing programming, staffing, priorities, and level of support needed, from targeted consultation to ongoing, integrated support.

1. Customized SEL Programming

Social-emotional learning is most effective when it reflects the actual needs of the students being taught. I develop and deliver customized programming using research-based curriculum and instructional strategies selected for your students' ages, developmental levels, strengths, and areas of need.

Programming may address:

Emotional regulation and coping
Social skills and friendship
Executive functioning
Flexibility and problem-solving
Conflict resolution
Communication and self-advocacy
Growth mindset and resilience
Independence and decision-making
Digital citizenship and healthy technology use

Lessons may incorporate video modeling, structured discussion, role-play, games, collaborative activities, and guided real-world practice to help students understand not only what to do, but how to do it.

2. Behavioral & Student Support

Sometimes a student's needs extend beyond what can be addressed through universal classroom strategies.

As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Nationally Certified School Psychologist, I can help schools look beyond the behavior itself to understand what may be contributing to it and what skills or environmental supports may be missing.

Support can include:

Classroom and student observations
Identification of behavioral patterns and triggers
Individualized behavior strategies & custom behavior intervention plans
Environmental and antecedent supports
Regulation and coping supports
Reinforcement and skill-building systems
Consultation around more complex student needs
Collaboration with educators and families when appropriate

The goal is not simply to stop challenging behavior. It is to understand what the student needs and build the skills and supports that help them succeed more independently.

3. Staff Coaching & Professional Development

The adults students interact with every day are an essential part of successful social-emotional and behavioral support.

I provide practical consultation, coaching, and professional development that helps educators understand behavior and respond in ways that build student skills rather than simply manage the moment.

Topics can be customized and may include:

Understanding the function of behavior
Connection before correction
Supporting emotional regulation
Responding to challenging behavior
Preventing escalation & diffusing challenges
Reinforcement and motivation
Executive functioning support
Supporting neurodivergent learners
Building consistency across classrooms
Helping students generalize SEL skills throughout the school day

Support can range from stand-alone professional development to ongoing observation and coaching embedded within the school environment.

More than an SEL provider

Psychology

Understanding child development, emotional functioning, cognition, learning, and individual differences.

Behavior Analysis

Understanding why behavior occurs and how environments, adult responses, and skill deficits influence what happens next.

Developmental Differences

Understanding how disabilities and developmental differences affect students in real classroom environments.

20 Years in Schools

Understanding the realities educators face and designing recommendations that are practical enough to actually use.

Instead of bringing in separate professionals to address each piece, schools receive integrated support from someone who understands how learning, development, behavior, and the school environment work together.

Designed for schools that want to be intentional about the whole child.

Private & Independent Schools • Microschools • Montessori & Alternative Programs • Learning Pods • Early Childhood Programs

Whether you're looking to strengthen an existing SEL program, support students with more complex needs, build staff confidence, or create a more integrated approach to behavior and social-emotional development, services can be tailored to fit your school's philosophy and community.

Let's build support that fits your school.

You don't need another one-size-fits-all program. Let's talk about your students, your educators, and the challenges you're trying to solve, then determine what kind of support would make the greatest difference.
