Passion and Motivation
I’m passionate about creating a space where every child feels safe, supported, and free to be themselves. I believe therapy should be fun, engaging, and filled with moments of connection, because that’s when real growth happens. I love bringing energy, creativity, and a bit of silliness into my sessions to help kids feel confident, understood, and truly seen.
