She has over 20 years of experience supporting children and families, using trauma-informed and child-centered practices. She is also a mom, and has the firsthand knowledge and experience that comes with the challenges and joys of parenting. She understands navigating the hard moments in life with a child, who you want to protect and guide well through it all.
