Meaningful learning and growth come from building on strengths. In a Yale University class on “The Science of Well-being,” I am learning how to build on my strengths to help children, parents, teachers, and therapists build on theirs.

My strengths support connection within families, communication between teachers, and collaboration among families, therapists, and schools. Love of learning, honesty, perspective, and gratitude are my top character strengths. These strength, together with a passion for the power of play and the importance of inclusion, drive Learn Play Grow's innovation and my clients' success.

I help families think outside the box and achieve new understanding of education and advocacy. Having been a been a classroom teacher for 10 years, I relate to educators with empathy and empowerment. I bring together teams of families, therapists, and schools to build on each other’s strengths and help children of all abilities succeed.
