She previously served as a School Counselor, supporting children and teens with a wide range of social, emotional, behavioral, and mental health concerns.

She utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Play Therapy to help young clients build healthy coping skills, understand and express their emotions, and strengthen confidence.
