If you’re here, it’s probably because you’re worried about your child or your family — and I want you to know you’re not alone. Parenting can feel so heavy when you see your child struggling with big emotions or challenging behaviors. I’m here to create a safe, caring space for your child and family to feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll gently work through the tough moments, strengthen your connection, and help your family find relief and hope again. Healing is possible, and I’m here to walk this path with you.

When kids struggle, they don’t always have the words — that’s why I use creative, supportive approaches to help them open up. I’m certified in Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT) and integrate Play Therapy, Art Therapy, and CBT to help children express feelings and build confidence. With gentle guidance, I support families in finding healing and hope.

Parenting can feel overwhelming, especially when your child or family is struggling. You don’t have to face this alone. I’m here to offer a caring, non-judgmental space where you and your family can feel supported and understood. Together, we’ll work toward healing, connection, and hope. Whenever you’re ready, I’m here to help you take that first step.
