As the owner and director of Forward Focus Adaptive Skills Training Program, I started Forward Focus with a deep belief in every individual's potential to grow, gain independence, and thrive with specialized individual support. With over a decade of experience in behavioral health, counseling, child development, and community-based services, I’ve seen firsthand the difference that compassionate, personalized skill-building programs can make.

My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, person-centered planning, and a commitment to helping each client achieve meaningful, real-world outcomes. At Forward Focus, we don’t just teach skills—we build confidence, connection, and the foundation for lifelong success.

We recognize the uniqueness and value in each family’s culture and style and want to honor those systems in the most natural way; this is why home-based and community-centered activities are utilized. As a Redding native, with two boys of my own, I understand the benefit of family time and appreciate the moments I get to share with those I serve.
