About

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.

This perspective is especially important for teens navigating questions of identity and belonging, who benefit from a space that honors their voice and experiences.
