"Owning your story is the bravest thing you will ever do."- Brené Brown We all have stories, some that we have chosen to create and others that were created for us. Maybe your story is easy, maybe your story is hard, perhaps your story is embarrassing or maybe your story creates feelings of guilt or shame; Whatever the story, whatever chapter you may be in, whatever chapter you may be thinking about opening, I commend your bravery and courage. You do not have to suffer alone.

At times, everyone needs a refuge from the storm, a comforting and safe place to unload, and inspiration to move ahead.

Cada persona, tarde o temprano, necesita un refugio, un lugar seguro donde se puede desahogarse. Aqui esta el lugar, conmigo. Yo entiendo sus batallas porque yo he luchado y superado muchos de los mismos problemas.

I understand the anxiety and stresses that life can bring, especially negativing adjustments and change. Through support, there can be profound healing & growth. Navigating childhood, parenting, or the postpartum journey with support can make the greatest impact, knowing you are not alone.

I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults find their voice through play and believe change can happen when we feel heard, cared for, and understood.

Sometimes life is hard and overwhelming. It is even harder and more overwhelming when you are kid who does not yet have the ability to understand what is going on inside you or the words to express what you are thinking and feeling- even though the grown-ups in your life often expect you to. This often leads to behavioral struggles, frustration, and chaos for both you and the adults in your life, which can further lead to relationship difficulties, unhealthy coping patterns, and low self-esteem. I understand the struggle and can offer acceptance, advocacy, and support.
