Therapy Helps Me Support Others, and Stay Connected to My Own Life
The Practice Behind the Presence
Most mornings I find myself at the park before work. It’s not about exercise; it’s about reconnecting with my inner child. Sitting on a swing, watching the clouds drift by, I reset and gather my thoughts. I love organizing cozy spaces, noticing small details, and being outside whenever I can. I’m someone who thrives with structure, but I’ve learned that clarity doesn’t always come from control, it comes from paying attention.
Therapy helps me do that. It’s taught me how to listen without rushing, how to stay grounded when emotions run high, and how to hold space when things feel messy. I bring that same mindset into my work with children and families, focused, steady, and playful. Even on cloudy days, I believe there’s always a reason to look for the sunshine.
My Approach Wasn’t Learned from a Textbook, It Grew from Listening to Children
I don’t see therapy as a service, I see it as a relationship built on trust, curiosity, and care. I show up with consistency and warmth, knowing that children aren’t puzzles to solve, they’re stories unfolding in real time. I don’t push for change; I create space for exploration. Every child moves at their own pace, carries emotions in their own way, and deserves to be met with patience and respect. Therapy works best when it honors that rhythm, and when the connection is real, not performative.
Play Builds Trust, Connection Follows Naturally
Children express themselves through play long before they find the words. Therapy begins with connection, not conversation.
Safety Before Solutions, Always with Children
Emotional growth happens when kids feel safe, not when they’re pushed to “get better.” The relationship is the foundation.
Feelings Deserve and Require Space, Not Fixing
Big emotions aren’t problems to solve, they’re signals to understand. Naming them gently helps children feel seen.

The Values That Steady Me
When life gets heavy, I’ve learned to slow down and listen, to myself, to the quiet, to the things that remind me who I am. Sometimes it’s a walk outside, sometimes it’s a moment with someone I trust, sometimes it’s just breathing and letting things be messy for a while.
I come back to the values that shape me: kindness, patience, and the belief that even in hard moments, connection can carry us through. I remind myself that growth isn’t always graceful, and healing doesn’t always feel like progress. But showing up, with honesty, with care, is enough.

Trained, Trusted, and Ready to Support Your Child
I completed my clinical training in 2019, and before starting my own practice, I spent years in community mental health. I worked with children, teens, and families navigating complex challenges, often without the support they needed. That time shaped how I show up today: with patience, clarity, and a deep respect for the slow, steady work that healing requires.

Why This Work Matters to Me
I’ve had seasons in my life that felt heavy, where things didn’t make sense and even simple moments felt hard. Those experiences taught me that healing doesn’t come from quick fixes. It comes from feeling safe enough to slow down, ask hard questions, and be met with care.
That’s why I do this work. I know what it’s like to feel lost, and I know how powerful it is to be seen. I offer kids and families a space that’s steady, warm, and real, where they can begin to feel like themselves again.
