Every child deserves to feel brave, capable, and valued for who they are. My work is all about embracing each child’s individuality and creating a safe space where they can explore their emotions and experiences without judgment. I take a neurodiversity-affirming approach, helping kids and teens see their differences not as obstacles but as beautiful and essential parts of who they are. Play and creative exploration aren’t just activities—they’re powerful tools that help kids process emotions and make sense of their world in ways words sometimes can’t. Through play, creativity, and connection, I guide children toward understanding and regulating their big emotions in a way that feels empowering. For older children and teens, I balance creative and expressive approaches with more directive techniques, helping them develop self-compassion and confidence. At the heart of my work is a commitment to helping kids embrace their unique strengths and believe in their ability to grow, adapt, overcome challenges, and thrive.
