I have extensive experience working with families involved in the Child Welfare Services system, as well with youth involved with probation through the delinquency system. In addition, I have provided therapeutic services in both clinic and community environments and has provided parenting education courses for the past 9 years using the Systematic Training for Effective Parenting curriculum. I like to work with clients as a collaborative team on creating an effective process empowering you to take charge of your future. My background has focused working specifically with foster, adoptive and biological families caring for children who have suffered from abuse, neglect, trauma and attachment issues.
