I am a real person living a real life, navigating oppressive systems, and fighting for a better tomorrow for all taking wins among the losses. I am a part of our shared struggle first, before I am a therapist.
Three things you might find interesting. 1. I understand how much this society sucks, deeply, personally, and systemically. I know how often the wrong side wins, how often people who believe in justice fight against yours, what it is like to face a roomful of people committed to misunderstanding you. 2. I use all my senses to "listen" to you. I do not buy into the "mind vs body" binary, but I do believe words are limiting.

Helping Children Thrive Through Play -
I believe that play is a child’s natural language, and through play therapy, children can communicate their emotions, process experiences, and develop essential coping skills. My work focuses not only on supporting the child but also on involving parents and caregivers, as family relationships are key to a child’s emotional growth.
By working together, I help families build stronger connections, improve communication, and create a nurturing environment where children feel understood and supported.
