Summary

Since 1978 I have enjoyed working with children with unique needs. I have taught and mentored individuals ages 4 to 34 with academic, behavioral and career goals. I form long term personal and professional relationships with client and families. I believe in working with the whole person to better develop understanding and compassion so that I can tailor my approach and set realistic, measurable goals. It is my experience that when people feel valued and respected they are open to acquiring new skills and taking calculated risks, enabling them to learn and grow. Drawing upon my educational training and years in both the classroom and in my own business, I have developed excellent practices for culling the best from individuals, and making them believe in themselves.
