When Dara Kruman was a child, she wanted to help other children around the world… and join a circus. The circus never materialized, but she did become a social worker. Dara completed her Master of Social Work at Boston College, with a concentration in children, youth, and families. While in Boston, she did community work as an intern at a family center and a community health center for children. After moving to Montgomery County, MD, Dara worked with several agencies, including Linkages to Learning, WorkSource Montgomery, and CCI Health and Wellness Services in Silver Spring. She loves working as a part of a team to help support families during their recovery, focusing on addressing the systemic needs that affect them. 

As a therapist, Dara has worked mainly with Spanish-speaking families from Latin America. She has also done volunteer work across the globe in Ecuador, Greece, and Thailand.
