About Us

I started Vocational and Rehabilitation Consultants in 2016 out of the need to assist individuals with disabilities to lead productive lives. The services we provide are to help those who are motivated and has a desire to make a productive change in their life. In addition, we assist those who don't know where to turn or where to start when it comes to dealing with a disabling condition. We provide services to assist those who desire to overcome their disability, seek alternative routes in their career, and ultimately want to try life again through the participation in employment and/or independent living. Our services are aimed at attorneys who handle cases with clients that have been injured on the job or sustained a life-altering injury through an accident. Additionally, our services are for youth and young adults who need extra support in order to successfully transition to adulthood. Our services are for those who need the expertise of someone with the training and experience in disability service, career service, and that can help identify resources when needed. My goal is to provide the support needed and to rehabilitate individuals as close as possible to their pre-injury state or provide alternative paths for those needing a career change.
