Being a parent can be one of life’s greatest joys, and also one of life’s most challenging experiences. In today’s world, more than ever, our children need
the necessary guidance and nurturing to grow both in the home and school environment.
Graduating with a Master of Social Work over ten years ago, has given me the
experiences of working with children and their families with diverse needs both
in the clinical setting, as well in the school setting. My interpersonal insight as a former school social worker and guidance counselor, as well as motherhood, has better enhanced my understanding and techniques in working with your child to further his behavioral and academic potential.
You are integral part of your child’s world, and together we can work to make a difference.
