For me, your child's reading journey is deeply personal.
Every child’s reading journey is important, and for me, it’s more than professional—it’s personal. My own child was reading far below grade level in second grade, and I remember the frustration, the tears, and the fear. But I also remember the turning point: when we focused less on finding joy in reading, everything changed.Â

Books That Heal: How Stories Became the Secret to Emotional Growth
When you come from a place of abundance and gratitude, your whole life will change.Â
It started with years as a teacher, working with all different ages…Helping children grow, learn, and rise beyond their limits. After completing graduate school and starting my career as a therapist, my background in teaching began to shape and strengthen my approach to fostering emotional growth and resilience.
What I discovered? Books weren’t just tools for reading—they were lifelines for emotional growth.
That insight sparked a breakthrough:
A bibliotherapy method that uses picture books to help kids not only think better—but feel better, too.
Here’s why it works:
✔️ Kids see their feelings reflected—and feel less alone
✔️ Stories create safe space to explore big emotions
✔️ Characters model coping, calm, and courage
✔️ Reading builds emotional language and empathy
✔️ It turns the reading corner into a launchpad for resilience
Now, I’ve packaged the process into powerful guides to help you use the magic of books at home or in therapy.
Watch your child grow—emotionally and academically—with one story at a time.
