“I have a young, creative mind with the wisdom of experience and longevity. I relate well to all ages, genders, lifestyles, religious beliefs, spiritual values, and socioeconomic groups. I constantly strive for personal growth. I connect well with patients and clients. I have a lot of versatility. I have an extensive network of physicians, psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, community leaders, and attorneys with whom I work. I know and understand the “ins-and-outs” of special education and how the system can work for you or against you” as stated by Dr. Lindenberg on his website.
