Bright Beginnings, LLC

Every child deserves to feel seen, safe and supported. I work with children, adolescents, and families facing anxiety, emotional challenges, life transitions, peer relationships, family conflict, and self-esteem. My approach is rooted in play, art, sand, and expressive therapies- meeting kids where they are and helping them grow. With fifteen years of experience as an early childhood educator both stateside and abroad, I bring a deep understanding of diverse families, cultures and communities that informs every aspect of my practice. 

I bring experience supporting neurodivergent children and teens, celebrating the ways their minds work differently. I collaborate closely with parents to strengthen the parent-child relationship and honor the family system as a whole. I hold specialized training in adoption-competent care, with dedicated focus on BIPOC, transracial, and transnational adoptees, as well as affirming, identity-conscious care of LGBTQIA+ youth exploring who they are and how they move through the world.
