Care Responsibilities
Your TMG IRIS consultant is your partner as you create a plan that meets your needs and stays within your IRIS budget. Your TMG IRIS consultant can connect you to resources in your area, and will be a great source of information for any questions you have about the IRIS program. In a self-directed program like IRIS, you decide who provides your support and services and when they happen. You may have natural support from people in your life, or you may choose to purchase the support you need from an agency or someone that you hire directly. Your TMG IRIS consultant will be there to talk through these decisions with you, and will help you put a plan in place that reflects your choices.

Specialties (e.g., working with autism, the elderly, employment for people with disabilities or
youth in transition, mental health, experience with assisted technology)
Prior to coming to TMG, I spent 15 years working with children diagnosed with autism. During that time, I had the privilege and honor of helping those kids gain confidence and make progress to reach their full potential. I also worked nearly 10 years for Brown County and the Washington State Human Services Departments, focusing on Medicaid programs for people who were aging, had visual impairments, and had disabilities.
