About My Clients

I work with adolescents and emerging adults. The clients I see are struggling with issues that are impacting their lives, both at school and at home. You may find yourself at the precipice of a transition, be it big or small. Perhaps you feel as though everyone around you has it all “figured out” while you are unsure about your next steps. Other common feelings include being left behind, and wanting things to stop changing.

My Background and Approach

I started out in the public education field with experience in Title I schools. I grew disillusioned with the myriad of issues inherent in the education system and took a break to regroup. I have experience with a wide variety of gig work, and eventually found my way to the Higher Education field where I solidified my desire to work with adolescents and emerging adults individually. I like to be a partner in the journey to self-understanding and acceptance; providing a supportive environment without judgment where clients can recognize their dreams, make an actionable plan, and take steps to aid in the plan becoming part of your reality. As a second career professional, I have a unique perspective on the stressors students face as an inherent part of the education system. I also recognize how the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an impact which has brought issues to light that perhaps were previously manageable.
