I’m Sean — former middle school teacher, parent of three boys, and someone who’s spent most of my life learning how kids grow, connect, struggle, and thrive.

I began teaching on the South and West Sides of Chicago, working as an English teacher and Associate Dean of Students while earning a Master’s in Education from Northwestern. Later, I taught 9th grade in Austin, TX as a team lead and dean. 14 years in middle school classrooms didn’t make parenting easy — but it prepared me.

Teachers learn how to hold kids to high expectations without breaking connection, creating a culture of resilience, love, and growth. That’s the work I bring to parents now.

I help parents understand the science of adolescence, manage the hardest middle school moments, and build strong relationships without giving up boundaries or accountability.

I believe skills like regulation, problem-solving, and adaptability can be taught — and when parents grow, kids thrive. 

Your kid is awesome.

About Me

Working with me begins with understanding. I take time to learn who your child is, what your family is navigating, and where things feel most strained. Many families arrive during moments of conflict, or disconnection, and my role is to help slow those moments down, clarify what is happening, and identify the skills to move ahead.

Every engagement is custom, because no two children, parents, or systems are the same. My work draws from developmental psychology, educational research, and years spent teaching and leading adolescents in complex environments.

Together, we build durable skills: emotional regulation and intelligence, executive function, resilience and coping, accountability, repair, and relationship-building. The goal is not simply improved behavior, but stronger relationships, greater confidence, and renewed agency for both parents and kids.

This work is collaborative, grounded, and practical—designed to move families out of crisis and toward connection.
