I offer a wealth of experience as a senior clinician. I taught children with special needs for 20 years. This experience lead me to pursue a secondary career as a social worker later in life. As a mother of four children with a career, I understand the many challenges women face throughout their life stages. I am an empathetic listener who works with others to determine a solution to their problems.
