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.
