My Approach and Philosophy
I draw from many different disciplines to reinforce real life skills building. I coach, mentor, support and utilize humor with not just my clients but their whole family. I also work to draw from my many years of advocacy and consulting skills to help parents manage the many educational and helping systems that support their child. Every child and their family deserve to reach their individual and collective potential as a family and to move towards lasting change and optimal well-being.
