You and your people are not on this path alone, let me help you feel like your best selves. Everyone needs an ally.
My passion is working with teens, adults, and families to work through the struggles of everyday life. Having experience in schools helps me to be able to collaborate with teens and their people to work through challenges. My goal is to meet you where you are at, and help guide you on the path to feeling like problems can be solved.
