As a former teacher and school counselor, I’ve always valued the saying, “They don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Whether students entered my classroom or office, my focus was to connect with them personally. Understanding their obstacles and strengths allowed me to create individualized roadmaps to support their personal and academic goals. My experience with families, educators, at-risk youth, and student-athletes has deepened my understanding of the challenges faced by children, adolescents, and young adults. Transitioning to therapy, I aim to dedicate quality time to helping students in a safe, encouraging space.
