Advising families with young children on educational and developmental issues

Every parent wants what's best for their child, but it isn't always clear what is best when your child is struggling.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, with years of first hand experience working with children who need a little extra help or have special needs. I help families understand their child's unique challenges and get them pointed in the right direction.

I work with parents to create a roadmap, identifying and taking advantage of the best of the abundant public and private resources available in the Greater Washington DC Metro Area.

It is my mission to support families in their unique journey navigating the complexities of supporting a child with a delay or disability. I aim to help families feel informed, empowered and less alone.
