Emotion Eruptions: The unpredictable bursts of anger that leave you feeling helpless.
Homework Hassles: Watching your child with ADHD struggle to focus on assignments can be incredibly frustrating.
Social Situations: Navigating playdates or group activities can feel impossible for a child who experiences anxiety.
Transition Turmoil: Whether it's changing schools, switching from one activity to another, can send your child into a spiral of anxiety
Academic Tough Terrain: Each school day feels like navigating a challenging landscape for your child. Finding ways to support their journey through math, reading or writing struggles can feel overwhelming, but they're not alone.

more about me
I'm a small-town Michigan special education teacher turned educational therapist and play therapist coach AND an ultra cyclist with big dreams.
Being someone who faced challenges, I am able to empathize with the unique struggles and emotions that come with navigating the world as a young individual.
My passion lies in coaching children toward a brighter future through the power of play and educational therapy.
My family life is filled with love and laughter. I am blessed to have married my high school sweetheart, and together we have two amazing adult children. Our home is also shared with two adorable doodles, Stella and Oakley - who bring endless joy and excitement to our lives. Each day is a new adventure with this lively bunch, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Very into: syrupy pancakes, racing my bike, and carving out a life you don’t have to pretend to like. Avoiding small talk since 1988.
As your child's counselor, I utilize the power of play and educational therapy to support your child with autism, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Together, we create a nurturing environment where they can truly flourish.
I'm Loretta.
So glad you are here.
