A personal approach, rooted in kindness.
Welcome! I'm the founder of KindRoots. I created this practice to offer thoughtful, individualized guidance to people and families navigating California's Self-Determination Program.
My role is to help you understand your options and support decisions that reflect your priorities. At KindRoots, your voice leads the way.
My commitment to this work is personal. Through caring for and supporting close relatives with diverse support needs, I have learned the importance of listening, patience, advocacy, and respecting each person’s individual choices.
I have completed Independent Facilitator training and bring professional experience in organization, documentation, coordination, and navigating complex processes. My goal is to help individuals and families approach the Self-Determination Program with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
