Dr. Bode’s passion for working with children started early, first as a rural tutor helping young learners, then as a gymnastics coach for a non-profit in Bermuda, and later as a mental skills consultant in schools. Throughout these experiences, she became endlessly curious about how kids learn, grow, and develop their own unique strengths.

She’s always believed that every child deserves to be seen for who they truly are. That belief guides her work every day. She loves helping families find answers and clarity when they have questions about their child’s development, whether it’s related to autism, ADHD, learning differences, or other concerns. Her goal is to make the assessment process supportive and empowering, so parents feel understood and children have the best chance to thrive.

Along the way, she’s continued to deepen her understanding of children’s learning and development, and shes always looking for new ways to support the families she works with. She's currently pursuing advanced training in school neuropsychology. She recently moved from Woodinville to Gig Harbor to open a long-term practice and continue serving families in the Pacific Northwest.

It’s her greatest joy to help each child she meets reach their true potential, and she looks forward to being part of your family’s journey.
