I’m so glad you’re here!
Sleep challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Every child and every family deserves a sleep plan that truly works for their unique needs and follows their pace.
I’ve seen firsthand how the right strategies can transform restless nights into peaceful sleep. I cannot wait to share my knowledge of sleep, habit-building, and behaviour change with you so you, your child, and your family, can find their new peaceful sleep rhythm.
Now we understand sleep is never JUST sleep.
If your child struggles to fall asleep, stay asleep, or feel rested, you’re not alone. Whether sleep challenges have been present since infancy or are a new development, we understand how deeply they can impact your child’s mood, behavior, and daily life.
As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) specializing in sleep, specifically for children
diagnosed autism, ADHD, and/or anxiety, we provide evidence-based, personalized strategies to help your child develop healthy sleep habits—so your whole family can rest easier.
When you change your sleep, you change your life.

Supporting Children with a Persistent Drive for Autonomy
Children with a Persistent Drive for Autonomy (PDA) or also known as Pathological Demand Avoidance thrive in environments where they feel a sense of control and collaboration.
Traditional approaches that rely on direct demands or perceived threat of losing access to anything often lead to resistance and distress.
Instead, based on personal and professional experience, it is best to start shifting towards using strategies that foster independence, choice, and engagement.
