I'm Jill, an educational therapist with 20+ years of experience working with K–12 students across San Francisco and the Peninsula. I help kids with learning differences, ADHD, and executive functioning challenges build real skills and real confidence.

Over these years as a classroom teacher, a learning specialist, and in private practice, I’ve watched kids work incredibly hard and still struggle - not because they aren't capable, but because no one has figured out how they learn yet. That moment when something finally clicks? That's why I do this work.

My approach is warm, structured, and always built around your child. I take the time to really understand how they think, what gets in the way, and what they're capable of when the right support is in place. Understanding how a child learns truly changes everything - for them, and for the whole family.

Every child can learn.

Sometimes they just need someone who understands how they learn best.
