She founded The North Star Developmental Clinic and has spent nearly 20 years supporting families in understanding and nurturing children’s growth. Known for her compassionate approach, Dr. Vanessa encourages parents, teachers, and caregivers to see the world through a child’s eyes, believing that doing so empowers “big people” to meet children’s needs authentically.
