Let's Connect (226) 406-4996

We navigate a delicate balance of a myriad of dynamics as we face life's challenges. I use a mixed-methods approach to support the journey it takes to guide you and your child toward their own version of "there."
Supporting children and families with a strengths-based, culturally sensitive approach, I integrate mixed methods such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness to foster growth and resilience. Specializing in anxiety, ADHD, executive function, learning differences, grief, trauma, and identity, I help build confidence, emotional balance, self-awareness & direction.
I honor the lived experience of each person’s journey, seeing that there is not just one way to become who we strive to be. It is a privilege to be part of the process that supports others to unlock their power & see their magic come to fruition, especially when it is a child.
