Welcome 

" My role as a School Counselor gives me the ability to support your child's voice and vision. I love being able to provide a safe space for all students to express themselves and be heard. It is powerful to watch students use social emotional tools, demonstrate empathy, and learn from one another. You'd never believe all the unpredictable, amazing conversations I encounter each day. So lucky to be around amazing young minds."
