CPCS Social Services Expert Vendor
I am an approved Social Services Expert Vendor for the Committee for Public Counsel Services. My unique combination of professional experiences makes me a strong asset to a legal team representing families in Care and Protections and related proceedings. In my 9 years as a social worker at the Department of Children and Families, I worked with over 500 families to address alleged abuse and neglect, and to support parents in working towards their goals whether they are reunification, maintaining a safe relationship when reunification is not the goal (DCF/court permitting), or as basic as nurturing their children's development.

Bonding assessments
-
Prenatal coaching for parents who are pregnant while their older child is in DCF custody
