With more than a decade of experience working with children in the creative field, my goal is to support you and your family through life's challenges by offering a safe and nurturing space where children can express themselves and heal. I take a holistic approach, blending creative and therapeutic techniques that are tailored to each child’s unique needs. This child-centered focus helps build resilience, develop coping skills, and bring joy to their journey.

I look forward to walking this path with you and your family!
