more about me






I know what it feels like to grow up without steady arms to fall into.  My story began with deep loss - left at an orphanage by my biological mother, and then, only a few short years later, losing my adoptive mom as a toddler.  Those early experiences shaped my heart and gave me a profound understanding of what it means to feel unseen, unheard, and overwhelmed.  

But they also lit a fire in me. 

I became a special education teacher because I wanted to be for others what I once needed myself - someone who sees beyond behavior, who listens deeply, and who shows up, no matter what.  That journey eventually led me to be come an educational therapist, working one-on-one with children and teens who struggle with big emotions, learning differences, and social challenges. 

Today, I support families through: 
  • Counseling for children and teens
  • Educational therapy for learning and emotional challenges
  • Screenings and personalized plans using tools like the BRIEF (for ADHD & executive function) and the Gilliam Autism Rating Scale.

My mission is simple:  to help children feel understood, and to equip parents with the tools and confidence they need to connect deeply even when emotions run high. 

If you're here, I'm so glad.  You're not alone, and together, we can help your child grow with calm, connection, and strength. 

I'm Loretta.

So glad you are here.
