About me

My goal is to assist families in understanding and supporting their children. I believe care involves more than just treating symptoms. I listen carefully to children, parents, teachers, and others who are important in a child’s life. By talking with families and schools, I learn what may be affecting a child’s well-being. Beyond medical treatments, I also focus on personal experiences. Sometimes my role is to help families begin treatment or understand treatments better. Whether working with a family for a short time or over many visits, I aim to support positive growth and development. Every family’s story is unique, and I am here to help guide each step along the way.
