What should a new client know about working with you?

Every child deserves to be understood before they are judged. I'm passionate about helping kids make sense of experiences they don't yet have words for, so they feel seen rather than defined by their struggles. Zarminali's commitment to coordinated, family-centered care mirrors my own philosophy, and I'm honored to support your family's journey.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and strengths-based. I believe behavior is a form of communication, so we explore the 'why' beneath a child's actions through conversation, play, and creativity — drawing on CBT, DBT, and person-centered care, always including caregivers.
