Works with clients ages: I have worked with Birth-18, but now am primarily working with Birth-2^nd grade kiddos.

Studies show that kids are much more likely to be successful as they age if they engage with one supportive adult. I love getting to be one of those supportive adults for kids.

I love that Northern Pines is in our area schools meeting students and families in a location that is more convenient, increasing access to services. And I love the commitment to continuing education and various training opportunities so I never have to stop learning and growing.

If I’m not working you can probably find me reading (read 113 books last year) or dreaming about going to a Disney park.
