More About Me

How do you Partner with people to 'clear the path ahead'? 
Partnering is about learning who a person is and what will help them be as happy, healthy, and safe as possible in their community. I will work with the person to develop a plan that addresses their goals and helps them utilize community services to get the care and support to realize those goals.
