Helping kids — and the adults who support them — grow real-world social skills and confidence. Because friendship shouldn’t feel clinical or complicated.
Welcome!
I’m now in private practice, offering social skills coaching for kids at my antique farmhouse in Boxborough, MA — now with the added bonus of outdoor social learning spaces.
I offer award-winning social skills groups for kids in Grades K–8 during the school year, as well as friendship skills coaching through summer programs for kids and teens. Our setting is welcoming, playful, and deliberately unstructured — creating a real-time social coaching environment that helps kids learn and practice essential friendship skills and social life skills.
Whether your child needs help learning to stick up for themselves, managing “too much silly,” building confidence, reading social cues, solving peer conflicts, or learning how to engage flexibly in groups — this is the place where they’ll gain those skills. It’s non-clinical social skills support — because friendship shouldn’t feel clinical or complicated.

What Sets Our Social Skills Coaching for Kids Apart
We coach kids in social skills through a play-based, real-world approach — not clinical treatment. Many children simply need non-clinical social skills coaching, mentoring, and practice — not therapy — to grow the skills they find challenging. Think of it as social tutoring for kids: the same kind of targeted help you’d give a child who struggles with math or reading.
Our unique in-the-moment social coaching programs in MA replicate the most challenging parts of the school day — recess, lunch, and other unstructured times — where kids need the most support and practice. We provide a fun, supportive social coaching “safety net” where kids can try, learn, and build real friendships and confidence.
Every child is an individual. There’s no one-size-fits-all curriculum here — just warm, responsive coaching that meets each child where they are.
