Meet Lily

Lily believes that every student has the potential to reach their goals and make meaningful

progress when given the right support. As a former preschool teacher, she witnessed how

children with neurodevelopmental and developmental disabilities were often misunderstood and labeled as “troublemakers” by teachers and peers. Motivated to change this, Lily conducted research and provided education to her classroom on developmental disorders and evidence-based interventions.

Her growing passion for understanding developmental disorders and effective interventions led

her to work with children with autism as a Registered Behavior Technician, where she provided

ABA therapy services. While working with children with autism, she became interested in the

overlap with ADHD. Exploring ADHD interventions strengthened her passion for combining

research and practical strategies to help students reach their goals.

Originally from Virginia Beach, Lily now resides in West Virginia while completing her

postgraduate degree. She enjoys exploring nature, watercolor painting, cooking, as well as

spending time with loved ones.

Lily earned her B.S. in Psychology with a concentration in Clinical & Counseling Psychology

from Regent University and is currently completing her M.A. in Clinical Psychology at West

Liberty University. As a supervised psychologist intern at Youth Health Service, she provides

psychological evaluations as well as individual, group, and family therapy for children. She is

currently developing competencies in play therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Her

previous research with Regent University focused on teachers’ attitudes toward implementing

ADHD interventions and the link between adverse childhood experiences and later adulthood

rejection sensitivity.

Lily’s experiences in education, research, and clinical practice have shaped her into a

supportive, compassionate, and knowledgeable coach dedicated to helping every student reach their full potential.
