As a child life specialist I am devoted to providing holistic care by serving and engaging with pediatric patients and families of all backgrounds with a goal to advocate for the needs of the individual and family.

​

I value the importance of partnering with the healthcare team to create a child-friendly, healing environment so as to minimize fears, encourage normalization, and promote optimal development.

​

I utilize my knowledge of family systems and child development to provide children with therapeutic and medical play opportunities, procedural preparation and support, medical education, and emotional support as a means to guide and empower.
