My focus of practice is early childhood, particularly working with children who have experienced trauma or have disabilities. I am passionate about supporting kids with symptoms of Autism and providing them with the tools and care they need to thrive. My approach is centered on creating a nurturing and understanding environment, where every child feels valued and understood. With a commitment to continuous learning and evidence-based practices, I strive to make a positive impact on the lives of the children and families I work with.
