About

From a young age, I have been deeply curious about human behavior—particularly the ways children express themselves through their actions and emotions. This curiosity evolved into a passion for understanding the unique experiences and inner worlds of children and adolescents. I chose to become a therapist because I believe every child and teen deserves to feel heard, valued, and understood. Too often, young people are expected to simply adapt to the expectations of adults, while their own perspectives and feelings go unrecognized. In my work, I strive to create a space where they can safely explore their thoughts and emotions.

I use a mix of play therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), mindfulness, identity development, coping skills, and healthy decision making to help kids and teens connect, reflect, and grow.
