Collaborate

My goal is to join you on your journey with an approach that is unique in its collaborative and compassionate foundation. I will not be acting as a traditional consultant, looking in as an outsider and providing you with answers or solutions to your problems. I will work to truly understand your experience. We can work together to help you live a life that aligns with your values in ways that feel natural to you. Let’s embrace your child as he or she is, and work together to build upon every strength we can find. Furthermore, as an advocate I would be honored to sit beside you in any setting to empower you to speak from a place of knowledge and confidence. While my education, experience, and background make me qualified to serve families navigating the special education system and support individuals with complex behaviors, it is my compassionate heart that will make this experience special for us both.
