Hi, I’m Hal — a school psychologist helping kids build focus, follow-through, and emotional regulation through music
If you’ve ever felt like nothing seems to stick…
and you’re exhausted of repeating yourself all day…
I work with kids who struggle with attention, big emotions, and everyday routines.
And I kept seeing the same thing: strategies made sense… but didn’t stick.

Why I Created Regulation Rhythms
I created Regulation Rhythms after working with students. Kids who were capable, but struggled to apply strategies in the moment. After working with hundreds of kids in schools, what I realized is this: kids remember songs… but forget instructions.
There was one student I’ll never forget—let’s call her Willow.
She was bright, capable, and full of personality. But her day was filled with frustration.
We practiced strategies… but they weren’t there when she needed them.
But she remembered songs perfectly.
And that’s when it clicked.
Why Use Music as a Cue
• Rhythm and repetition can make short phrases easier to remember
• A familiar song provides a consistent signal
• Personal details can make practice more engaging
• Music offers another way to rehearse a routine
