Who We Are
-
At Growth & Care LLC, we are committed to enhancing the lives of individuals with disabilities by promoting self-development and empowering them to achieve their full potential. We believe that we can best assist our individuals by aiding in self-discovery through person-centered practices. We believe that with an assistive and collaborative team, we are able to empower the individuals we serve.
We aim to assist individuals by first learning about their strengths, barriers, desires and challenges. We want to learn about who the individual is as a person and what is important to them. By understanding this, we are able to learn how we can teach them. We are not using a generalized approach, instead narrowing it down to each individual's uniqueness by utilizing methods and strategies that relate to the individual.
-
We uphold respect in every interaction, promote individuality by celebrating unique perspectives, and deliver quality service with unwavering commitment; we champion equality and diversity as essential foundations, act with integrity in all decisions, and strive to make an impact that advances opportunity and trust for everyone we serve.

Welcome!
Growth & Care was established because I believe in providing a more personal and meaningful approach to supporting individuals with disabilities and their families. While I bring over a decade of professional experience in social services, I am also a special needs mom and both experiences have shaped who I am and how I serve others.
I understand the realities of navigating systems, coordinating services, advocating for support, and planning for the future. I also understand that the process can feel overwhelming at times. That is why I created Growth & Care: so individuals and families know they do not have to navigate these journeys alone.
At Growth & Care, our clients are always at the forefront of everything we do. With more than ten years of experience serving youth, adults with disabilities, students, and immigrant communities, we are committed to empowering individuals to increase autonomy, build self-sufficiency, strengthen independence, and preserve the freedom to make informed choices about their lives.
Our team provides compassionate, client-centered support and practical resources that help individuals develop skills, access opportunities, and overcome barriers. We are dedicated to walking alongside our clients and families, every step of the way.
