Together we can.

I have always had a passion for helping people as they navigate life’s twists and turns. Since 2007 I have worked with kids and young adults in a variety of school settings, from preschool to graduate school and every level in between.

I am a guide, teammate, and partner. Together we will find what works best for you. There is no one right way and pursuing change takes patience, perseverance, and partnership.
