Many of the conflicts, traumas, and unhealthy patterns that adults seek therapy for often have roots in experiences, perceptions, and messages received during childhood. A significant part of my passion for helping others live healthy, authentic lives stems from recognizing the profound impact this has not only on the individual but also on the collective, including future generations.

The Wiser Human books are an inspirational collection of social-emotional stories designed to foster connection between caregivers and children and facilitate exploration of important topics together. Each story is accompanied by a "Grown-up Guide," providing adults with psycho-education, conversation prompts, developmentally appropriate questions, and suggestions for further enrichment on the given topic.
​
These books are not only beneficial for children but also for parents, caregivers, child therapists, school counselors, teachers, or anyone who regularly interacts with children. By equipping adults with tools to navigate social-emotional conversations, we can foster healthier relationships and support the emotional well-being of future generations.
That is the true gift of The Wiser Human.
