Stop Reacting. Rewire the Response.

Create Calm.
Cultivate Connection. 

For parents and educators of kids and teens with big emotions and behaviors...
who are done with behavior charts, burnout, and broken systems.

My Rewire the Response program offers practical, connection-driven tools to help adults respond calmly and compassionately to big behaviors in neurodivergent, trauma-impacted kids.

Start your shift with a free guide that moves you from survival to strength!

Sound Familiar?

  • You're exhausted supporting daily sensory and emotional overloads or shutdowns

  • Walking daily on eggshells, not knowing what will trigger the next reaction?

  • Wondering "Why doesn't anything work?" or "Can things be different?"

  • Burned out, blamed, and out of ideas?

  • Longing for calm, connection, clarity, and confidence?

You’re not alone.
You can respond instead of react.

Let me show you how!

I help adults rewire their response so connection replaces Control.

Hi, I'm Dr. David

You're here because you know there has to be a better way.

For too long, you've been told that stricter discipline, more consequences, and tougher rules will "fix" the challenges you face with your neurodivergent kids' challenging behaviors. 

 

 But deep down, you know that approach isn't working—it’s only creating more meltdowns, more resistance, and more frustration.

It’s time to break free from outdated models that do more harm than good. You don’t need more power struggles—you need real solutions that build trust, connection, and emotional resilience.

The reassurance and validation he gave us in knowing what we were dealing with on a daily basis was not only typical but expected, really helped us feel so much more at ease!
