My Story
My passion for working with children and adolescents comes from a deep belief that every child deserves to feel heard, supported, and capable of growth. Early in my career, I discovered how powerful it can be to connect with children in ways that feel natural and engaging to them—whether through play, creativity, or simply creating a space where they feel safe to be themselves.
My background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has shaped my approach by giving me practical, evidence-based tools to help children develop important life skills. Over time, I’ve learned that combining structure with creativity allows me to meet each child where they are, while still helping them move toward meaningful progress.
I truly enjoy building strong connections with the children and families I work with. Watching a child gain confidence, express themselves more freely, or develop new coping skills is what makes this work so rewarding.
For me, therapy isn’t just about addressing challenges—it’s about helping children discover their strengths, feel empowered, and create positive change that lasts far beyond our sessions.
