Professional Experience

I specialize in supporting children, adolescents, and young adults who are navigating ADHD, Autism, and Anxiety. My approach is centered on building a strong, trusting relationship and creating an affirming environment where clients feel safe to explore school stress, relationship dynamics, family concerns, and past trauma.

My therapeutic style blends mindfulness, social-emotional learning, and self-esteem building, with evidence-based practices like Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Theraplay.

Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and deeply committed to helping them grow, heal, and develop self-love.
