Specializes in children (6+yrs), pre-teens, teens, young adults up to 25 

​

With nearly a decade of experience in school settings, I specialize in supporting children and adolescents from diverse backgrounds. I create a safe, intentional space where young clients can explore their emotions, navigate challenges, and develop effective coping strategies - particularly those who are highly sensitive or feel overwhelmed by chaotic environments.

​

In my work, I integrate mindfulness and creativity-based practices to encourage grounding, self-expression, and self-exploration. These tools allow individuals to better connect with themselves, regulate emotions, and build resilience in the face of life’s challenges.

​

My approach takes into account both what is happening within each client and in the world around them, offering a holistic understanding of their experience. This perspective is especially important for teens navigating questions of identity and belonging, who benefit from a space that honors their voice and experiences.

​

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: everyone needs a place where they feel seen, heard, and safe enough to grow. Whether you’re seeking support for a child, teen, or young adult, I’m here to help them move from feeling anxious, disconnected, or misunderstood toward confidence, resilience, and connection.
