My Core Values:
Unconditional Connection is a Human Right
We all deserve to enjoy being together and feel accepted - no strings attached. Unconditional connection sends a powerful message that relationships are stronger than the tough moments and helps build a child's sense of trust and safety.
Always Presume Competence
I believe that every person is capable of learning, communicating, connecting, and participating. I provide support to help people communicate and interact with others in ways that are meaningful to them.
Inclusion and Safety are Essential
I am committed to anti-racist, anti-ableist, and neurodiversity-affirming practice to cultivate a sense of safety and belonging for all my clients. My listening, learning, and unlearning will always be ongoing work.
Collaboration Fosters Growth
We are a team! I value collaboration with the child, family, educators, and other therapists. Teamwork is the key to understanding the child holistically and supporting their communication, sensory, and emotional growth across contexts.
