Work
My practice is prevention-first: parent education, developmental navigation, and staff training designed for the last mile — the stretch between a good recommendation and a Tuesday that actually works.
Houston, Texas
At Legacy Community Health I lead a cohort-based series for families with children from birth to age five. Groups meet over eight weeks — three cohorts a year — covering developmental milestones, emotional regulation, responsive parenting, and the science of toxic stress, alongside the housing, food, and transportation questions that decide whether any of it is possible.
Early childhood program
A cohort-based parent education and playgroup series for families with children from birth to age five. Over eight weeks, families practice responsive caregiving, learn the science of early development, and build a room of peers who understand the week they are actually living.
Community health
Screening is only useful if it leads somewhere. I help families understand results in plain language and walk the path to pediatric care, behavioral health, food, and housing partners — so a form does not become another dead end.

Practical sessions for teams who meet families every day: serve-and-return coaching, health literacy, caregiver stress, and how to write recommendations that survive the bus ride home.
How relationships, responsive caregiving, developmental monitoring, and everyday experiences shape children's earliest years.
Why children's outcomes can't be separated from the health, stress, resources, and well-being of the adults caring for them.
What happens when good healthcare recommendations encounter transportation, housing, food access, language, stress, competing responsibilities, and everyday life.
