As a school‑based licensed mental health therapist, helping children feel better at school is my main goal. I work closely with teachers and families to support each child’s needs.

I have experience working with diverse children and families in school and community settings, addressing concerns such as life stressors, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, trauma, and identity. I believe childhood comes with many challenges—but also opportunities to build lifelong mental health skills. My goal is to highlight each child's strengths and support them through this journey. I prioritize forming strong therapeutic relationships built on empathy, trust, and humor. My approach is strengths‑based, person‑centered, and grounded in cultural humility and inclusion. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, solution‑focused strategies, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to tailor care to each child’s unique needs.

Outside of work, I love spending time with family and friends, trying new crafts, reading fantasy and sci‑fi, playing video games, and enjoying nature. I also spend plenty of time wrangling my two adorable—but slightly mischievous—cats, Zelda and Mipha.
