About
With a heart for fostering well-being and empowering individuals Person-Centered Care Inc brings a unique blend of creative expression and therapeutic expertise to the community.
Our Director's journey began in the vibrant world of elementary art education, where for five years, she cultivated young minds, nurtured their creativity, and learned the art of truly seeing and understanding each child's individual perspective.
Driven by a deeper desire to support individuals and families on their paths to healing and growth, she pursued a Master's degree in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling at Stetson University. This academic foundation paved the way for two enriching years as a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern in private practice. During this time, she had the privilege of working with adults, families, and children, providing a safe and supportive space for them to navigate challenges and build stronger connections.
Her commitment to understanding and addressing the diverse needs of individuals extended into the educational system, where she serves as a Care Facilitator for a local school district for the past two years. This experience further honed her skills in collaboration, advocacy, and creating person-centered support systems.
Now, as the Person-Centered Care Director, she is passionate about creating an environment where every individual feels heard, valued, and empowered. Her background in education, counseling, and care facilitation equips me with a holistic perspective and a genuine dedication to fostering well-being and positive change.
