About Me.
I’m an educator with over 11 years of experience in early childhood education. I’ve had the opportunity to teach both in public and private schools, supporting children one-on-one as a SEIT, Classroom teacher and social skills groups in playful, relationship-based environments.
Through my work, I’ve stayed grounded in one belief:
A child’s brain - How they think, feel, and make sense of the world, is the most beautiful thing we get to witness.
My approach is rooted in the DRI/Floortime model and centers on connections, co-regulation, and supporting each child as a person — not just their behavior. I meet children where they are and use play as a tool to build trust, flexibility, emotional growth, and confidence.
I created this practice because I saw a gap: Families needed support that wasn’t clinical or rigid — but wasn’t just “babysitting”either. They needed someone who could enter the child’s world with joy and purpose, offer guidance without judgment, and help make play a bridge to stronger relationships.
I support children through:
1:1 play-based sessions
Guided playdates with siblings or peers
Real-time support for parents who want to feel more confident at home
As a neurodiversity-affirming, immigrant educator, I bring a lens that honors identity, difference, and the ways children grow and express themselves. My goal is not to “fix” anyone — it’s to build trust, spark joy, and help each child feel safe to be fully themselves.
