Facilitation with Heart: Our Mission

As an Independent Facilitator passionate about inclusion, advocacy, and empowerment, I support individuals with developmental disabilities and their families in navigating the Self-Determination Program (SDP). I bring not only professional experience—but also lived experience as a parent—into every conversation, with heart and purpose.

Through culturally responsive, person-centered planning, I help you or your loved one take control of their services, identify meaningful goals, and build a life rooted in dignity, choice, and community.

Whether you're just getting started with SDP or looking for ongoing support, I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Facilitation With Heart isn’t just a tagline—it’s the way I show up.
