I have a passion for supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their families. As a mother of two children with IDD, I bring both professional expertise and personal experience to my work, offering a unique perspective that deeply informs my approach. For 17 years, I’ve been dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate the challenges and opportunities that come
with IDD, empowering them to live fulfilling and meaningful lives. I believe that every person has unique strengths and abilities, and my goal is to create a safe, supportive, and person-centered environment.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages, helping them access services such as Medicaid waivers, educational supports, and employment programs. I also specialize in supporting families, providing guidance on caregiving strategies, emotional well-being, and advocacy.
As a parent of children with IDD, I understand firsthand the joys and challenges families experience. This personal connection allows me to approach each client with empathy, patience, and a genuine commitment to their success. If you’re looking for support, guidance, or a compassionate partner in your journey, I’m here to
help.
