Unlocking Potential
About EmpowerED
At EmpowerED, our mission is deeply rooted in personal experience and professional expertise. As a mother of four children, three of whom are neurodivergent, I understand firsthand the challenges that come with navigating the complexities of raising children with unique needs. My journey led me to become a school psychologist in 2016, where I’ve spent years gaining in-depth knowledge and honing a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to support young people.
My passion lies in helping children and families thrive, particularly those facing emotional disturbances, behavioral challenges, and the unique experiences of twice-exceptional youth, including those with Autism. I am driven by the belief that every child deserves a supportive, understanding environment where they can learn, grow, and succeed.
My approach is grounded in empathy, evidence-based practices, and a commitment to meeting each child where they are. I work closely with families, educators, and individuals to create personalized strategies and interventions that foster emotional well-being, academic success, and personal growth. Whether through therapy, educational evaluations, or parent support, I strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people and their families.
The inspiration for my work comes from my own experiences as a parent and my dedication to making the journey easier for others. Through a combination of professional training and personal insight, I am committed to offering the support and resources necessary for every child to thrive.
