I have worked with children and teens for over 15 years in a variety of positions, including roles as a Family Based Therapist, a Public School Counselor, as well as a volunteer in my community. I promise not to act as "the expert", who tells students what they should do. I believe that each individual is an expert on themselves. I aim to provide a safe place for students to evaluate and weigh their choices, past, present and future, along with the consequences, positive and negative, and to choose for themselves what will bring them closer to where they want to be. At that point, we will work together to create a plan of action, including learning and practicing new skills and habits and making any necessary changes.
