As a mother of three and a psychologist, I bring both heart and insight into the pages of my books. Motherhood gives me a window into the joys, fears, and curiosity of a child’s world. My work as a psychologist deepens my understanding of how people think, feel, and grow.
My books invite children to explore new ideas, connect with characters, and awaken their creativity. Whether it’s imagining spaghetti creations or striking a power pose, I hope my stories spark joy, reflection, and confidence in every young reader.
