For over eight years, I've been immersed in my passion for working with severely challenging behaviors, ranging from kids in kindergarten to seniors in high school. I've been physically and verbally attacked, flat-out ignored, and emotionally manipulated. I know what it feels like to selflessly give your physical, emotional, and spiritual energy for weeks on end without any sign of appreciation or acknowledgment.
You might be thinking, "This is your passion?" to which I would emphatically respond by telling you that I wouldn't want it any other way.
I have found joy and purpose in figuring out how strong-willed kids operate to connect with and encourage them. Throughout thousands of hours of direct experience with them in structured and unstructured environments, I've routinely found one thing to be true: they want to do well just as much as you want them to. The problem, though, is that they typically feel out of control when control is taken from them and are usually doubtful of others' intentions (even if they are in good faith) due to their non-secure attachment style, making them overly susceptible to misunderstandings that lead to oppositional behaviors.
That's where I come in.

Certified school counselor (M.Ed.)
8+ years working with challenging behaviors
without enabling and reassurance that they are loved, promoting a secure attachment that cultivates growth. To actualize this approach, I help you master four key concepts: Mutual Submission, Boundaries, Redirection Skills, and Consequences. Whether a child is physically combative or completely shut down, these foundational concepts have served as a reliable blueprint for successfully navigating challenging behaviors, and I know they can do the same for you.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Srusht
Zack gives a good balance of explaining developmental theories but with a practical, grounded, step by step approach with examples or scenarios of what actually happens with kids/ teens in real life as opposed to a high level theory that may not work in practice, all while respecting each person's unique parenting style or perspective.
