I was 7 when Nickelodeon announced their Declaration of Kids' Rights. I was 14 when I asked my World Civ teacher why kids who were tried as adults didn’t have a jury filled with peers their own age. I was also 14 when I debated with my World Civ teacher that a child working as a chimney sweeper had the right to decline the job, which ultimately led to his death. I was born imbued with the belief that there are universal rights that should apply to people regardless of age. And I have since spent a lifetime advocating that children & teens are agentic beings who influence & are influenced by the world around them & have the right to be seen & heard.

When I work with kids, teens, & families, I meet them where they are. I see each member of the family as an individual with different experiences & histories regardless of the shared experience. And whether I work with a single child or teen or the whole family, it’s always my goal to provide a neutral space where kids & teens can express themselves & be heard by an adult who is not family.

In working with kids, teens, & families, my personal goal is that each individual feels seen & heard to foster a supportive & understanding environment. Unlike traditional approaches, I focus on the energy dynamics within the family & incorporate insights from Childhood Studies, Psychology, & Anthropology to create customized solutions that are reflective of each individual as well as the family system as a whole.

Expected Results:

💫 Improved communication within the family

💫 A more balanced family system

💫 Enhanced understanding of individual needs
