The New Year: Reflections on Growth, Gratitude, and Renewal Each New Year, I like to pause and reflect—especially on the interview I did back in 2023 about New Year’s resolutions. Revisiting the chapters of my life has shown me that most things, even the difficult ones, carried purpose. I’ve gained self-esteem that had far less […]
Children don’t heal through long conversations—they heal through stories, movement, imagination, and connection. In my practice, I use art therapy, play-based interventions, and experiential activities to help children express feelings that are too big or too confusing for words.
