Our work as parents and caregivers never really ends, and often takes us on journeys we never anticipated. If you're here, perhaps getting here was one of those journeys. As a Clinical Social Worker, I've been working with children, adolescents and their families as they navigate challenging situations for over 10 years.

The journey is yours and I'd be privileged to walk that journey with you.
