I am an accomplished, passionate educational consultant and child rights advocate.  Through my company, Horizon Family Solutions, I provide child rights advocacy services, educational consulting and family and parent coaching services to a rapidly expanding roster of clients in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia.

Earlier in my career, I spent time running my family's veterinarian practice and doing corporate training and marketing work in Silicon Valley during the dot-com boom.

Currently, I am nearing completion of a new book uncovering and evaluating therapeutic, residential and wilderness treatment facilities.

The meticulously-researched book, One Size Does Not Fit All, is a comprehensive resource on current treatment programs available in the U.S.  From my research, interviews and focus groups, the book will also include a list of recommended facilities and programs.

The printed book will have a companion eBook - available at www.OneSizeDoesNotFitAll.info - which will be maintained with current information and reviews of treatment facilities and serve as a point of reference for families, parents, teens and the professionals who support them.

Originally from the San Francisco bay area, I now live in Oregon.  I have a grown daughter along with two cats and spend her free time gardening, horseback riding, hiking, biking and generally enjoying the beautiful outdoors.
