Here are my professional goals:

• LISTEN. I'm a mom. I don't pretend to know everything, but I do know my child. You do as well. I want to hear your joys, successes, worries, and updates.

• EMPOWER. I want to work with you and your family to find what will work. Let's learn together to find realistic and evidence-based tools that you can use anywhere to help your child succeed.

• PLAY. I aspire to foster intrinsic motivation for learning. Research tells us that learning is faster and more established when we present new information in these types of opportunities.

• RESPECT. I don't use rewards, and I do have expectations. I hope that others will trust and respect me, and I will always respect others - regardless of the age. Let's open communication to build that type of relationship!
