Philosophy of Care ![](https://hellobackpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/flower1-300x275.png)
Everyone progresses at their own pace. I am here to provide your child and family with the support and strategies to help navigate through your unique set of challenges.
Why Therapy? ![](https://hellobackpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/lupa.svg)
I have always loved working with children and families. Kids have a unique outlook on life and helping them gives me joy. Therapy provides me with a way to directly impact those who are facing challenges and help get them on track to a healthy, happy life.
Fun Fact ![](https://hellobackpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/A9uskl9l_1rwge0e_2jk-300x266.png)
I grew up in a military family and moved a lot. I think that’s what gave me the strong independent personality I have today.
At Home ![](https://hellobackpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/nube-300x253.png)
You can always find me entrenched in a DIY home project, relaxing at the beach, hiking in the mountains, or spending time with family and friends.
