My Background

Since 1989 I have worked with children and families affected by trauma and adversity. I have successfully designed programs and built organizations to support trauma-informed, resiliency based, service delivery. At the national level, I work to address policies and disseminate comprehensive solutions to address child and family homelessness. I served as a policy mentor for the Doris Duke Fellowships for the Promotion of Child Well-Being at Chapin Hall, and am the 2016 recipient of the Horace Mann Spirit of Service Award from Antioch University.

Approach to Assessment

Assessment lies at the core of all work with children and families. To support healthy development, parents, teachers, and providers must understand a child’ unique strengths and needs. At Strong Roots Counseling I provide neurodevelopmental and psychological assessment of children age 0-17 years to identify learning needs, developmental delays and strengths, and clarify behavioral or diagnostic questions.
