I hold a Master of Arts in Child Development from California State University, East Bay, and a Family Development Credential from the University of Connecticut. My passion is helping children and families thrive by empowering parents to become confident advocates and the most important influence in their child's life.

Throughout my career, I have worked alongside families to identify their strengths, develop person-centered goals, navigate complex systems, and build positive parent-child relationships. I believe every family has unique strengths, and with the right support, every child has the opportunity to reach their fullest potential.

My work is deeply personal.

As the parent of a son with autism and an intellectual disability, I understand firsthand the challenges of navigating services, advocating for needed supports, and finding professionals who truly listen and understand. I know how overwhelming the journey can feel and how isolating it can be when families struggle to find the resources and guidance they need.

Those experiences inspired me to create Building Better Futures.

My mission is to ensure that families never have to face this journey alone. I am committed to providing compassionate, family-centered support that empowers parents with the knowledge, resources, and confidence they need to advocate for their children.

At Building Better Futures, I use a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive approach to partner with families. Together, we celebrate each child's unique abilities, build on family strengths, and create meaningful opportunities for growth, independence, and inclusion.

Whether you are just beginning your journey or looking for additional support, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way, helping your family build a stronger future with hope, confidence, and purpose.
