I have over a decade of experience working closely with children, including many with special needs. I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology with an emphasis on Early Childhood Education, which gave me a strong foundation in child development and learning differences. Throughout my career, I've worked with multiple families whose children had a range of disabilities, including those on the autism spectrum. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, creativity, and consistency in building supportive relationships. I'm currently pursuing my master's in Clinical Psychology, which continues to deepen my understanding of neurodiversity, emotional regulation, and individualized care. Supporting children in growing their confidence and helping them reach their goals is something I truly care about.
