Advocacy in Action
The system is complex. We understand. With expertise and compassion, we offer the dedicated support your family and clients deserve.
Does the system see the child you love?
Do you need help ensuring your child gets the services they actually need? Are you facing unfair discipline at school? Do you need expertise translating a client’s complex educational and social history?
You don’t have to navigate this maze alone.
Roots in Practice. Results in Action.
At Heartwood Family Services we provide the crucial expertise that ensures appropriate services and informed decision making for schools and courts. With a PhD in Early Childhood Education, specialization in Special Education, and over 20 years of experience in education, I advocate with compassion and knowledge to get the results you need. At Heartwood, we advocate for the individual. We advocate for you.
