hello!

I am so glad you are here!

As a dyscalculia specialist and guide, I help families successfully navigate the stress and unknown of their child’s dyscalculia diagnosis. Through one-to-one and group consulting, I provide experienced guidance to help your child succeed in school and in everyday life.

As a mom of a dyscalculic daughter, I understand the unique and complicated challenges of raising a child with a little-known learning disability.

Imagine hiking an unknown trail, without a map, a guide, or any sense on where you are headed, or what you will encounter along the way. That is what it’s like to navigate the world of dyscalculia. It’s difficult to find adequate resources and supports.

I help families get started in the right direction, equip them with the knowledge and proper gear they need, and help them navigate the ups and downs along the way.

Every family I have worked with has sought out help at various places in their journey. Some are just beginning with a new diagnosis, and feel overwhelmed and unsure how to sort through the noise and confusion. Others come after years of struggle, disappointed and feeling hopeless about methods already tried.

Working in one-to-one consulting and in small groups, I provide personalized, knowledgable, and experienced guidance for each unique family and child.

My Dyscalculia Education:

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Seattle Pacific University, but my learning on dyscalculia began in 2017 with the discovery of my daughter’s dyscalculia. I began reading everything I could find on the subject and observing the impact of dyscalculia on school and daily life.

Implementing newly-learned dyscalculia teaching methods, I worked with my daughter for three years on math at home. She returned to public school, acing her algebra and geometry classes. But more importantly, the transformational understanding of her dyscalculia led to less anxiety, greater confidence, and stronger self-advocacy skills.

The learning has continued and expanded as I have connected with numerous individuals and families around the world, as well as other dyscalculia experts. Some of my favorites I have personally connected with, learned from, and collaborated with are:

• Brian Butterworth, author, professor emeritus, and dyscalculia researcher at the University College London

• Jane Emerson, author and co-founder of the Emerson House, a learning center in London

• Paula Bishop-Liebler at the Emerson House Charlottesville US

• Cat Eadle and Robert Jennings at the Dyscalculia Network UK

• Dr. Anneka Schreuder at Dyscalculia Services

• Adrianne Meldrum at Made for Math

Other dyscalculia authors I learn from are Dorian Yeo, Ronit Bird, Steve Chinn, Patricia Babtie, Judy Hornigold, Paul Moorcraft, and Eva Grauberg. (From this list of mostly British dyscalculia experts it may appear I live in the UK, but I live in the Pacific Northwest, US.)
