As founder and Director of Emile (eh-meel) Educational Consulting, I work intimately with adolescents and young adults with diverse interests, abilities, and emotional backgrounds.

​

I am a Therapeutic and Educational Consultant with more than three decades of experience helping adolescents, young adults, and their families navigate complex emotional, developmental, and educational needs. I provide steady, compassionate guidance during some of a family’s most difficult moments, helping them understand their options, find appropriate support, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

​

Grounded in my background in psychology and education, my approach begins with relationships. I take time to understand each individual’s strengths, values, history, and needs, as well as the experiences of the family and professionals supporting them. Whether a family is seeking therapeutic care, a school or college placement, or help navigating a significant transition, I develop thoughtful recommendations that reflect the whole person.

 

I draw on a nationwide network of trusted relationships with clinicians, therapeutic programs, schools, and other professionals to connect families with carefully vetted options. I assemble multidisciplinary teams when needed and work closely with existing providers to bring greater coordination and continuity to care. My involvement extends beyond a referral or placement. I stay connected as circumstances evolve, helping families navigate challenges, reassess needs, and prepare for transitions with ongoing support.

 

Since founding my practice more than twenty-seven years ago, I have earned a national reputation for my clinical sophistication, dedication, and integrity. I have presented at national and local conferences and spoken with nonprofits, therapeutic programs, schools, and parent and student groups about collaborative care, individualized planning, and supporting meaningful progress. I also serve as a Board Member for Her Story, a nonprofit focused on adolescent girls’ identity and leadership development.

Warmly,
