I have a bachelor's in music therapy and love to find creative ways to be in tune with the whole family system.

You can usually find me on the floor playing with children and caregivers because play is the window to the heart and soul. I primarily work with children aged 7 and under, families, and early childhood providers. Most of my work focuses on the whole family or ecosystem (i.e., classroom providers and family).

I prioritize using a holistic and multisystemic lens to view my work with children, families, and professionals. All of my practices are grounded in an attachment-based framework where I prioritize connection over everything.
