Anchor Family Behavioral Health
PSYCHIATRIC & MENTAL HEALTH CARE
About Us
Why Anchor Family is different
I founded Anchor Family Behavioral Health because I couldn't find the kind of care I wished existed, care that truly understands what it means to love someone with complex needs.
As a parent of a child with Down syndrome, I live the caregiving experience alongside my clients. I know what it's like to attend IEP meetings, navigate medical systems, and explain your child to people who don't quite get it, while also trying to take care of yourself.
I bring that understanding into every session, alongside over a decade of clinical expertise.
