Strong support for children begins when professionals and families work together. My collaborative approach honors the whole child — blending insights from educators, therapists, and parents to create meaningful care.

Collaborations

I welcome partnerships with like-minded professionals who value an integrative, strengths-based lens. Together, we can expand resources for families and ensure that children receive coordinated, developmentally aligned support.

The Rooted Within framework is integrative by nature, shaped by blending different philosophies and practices. Collaboration with like-minded professionals expands the scope of what families can access, offering relational and comprehensive support that honors children, supports parents, and nurtures resilience. Together, we create a shared language and pathway that helps families move from discovery to alignment, integration, and resourcing.
