I enjoy helping kids feel safe and happy. I love building relationships, connecting with children, and empowering them to make their own choices while meeting the challenges of growing up.

As parents, we are all truly doing the best we can; however, we might need additional support to help our children regulate big emotions, bolster social skills, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Given the time, tools and opportunity, children will dive in and do the work they need to to in order to become the best version of themselves.
