I work with children, teachers, and parents to help improve attendance, behavior, grades, focus, and emotional regulation. School can not be a place of safety and learning if a child’s thoughts and feelings are not in a regulated state. My specialty is building rapport. For those who have had poor experiences with counselors or who are in counseling for the first time, I provide a positive experience for them to trust and utilize counseling in the future. This is my 11th year as a Mental Health Counselor.
I utilize solution focused, CBT and behavioral therapy. I’m on my 7th year as a School Based Mental Health Counselor. I’ve worked as a Clinician in an Inpatient Facility for 3 years and as a Coordinator for a Juvenile Justice and Children’s Counseling Program through a County in California. I’ve worked with all ages and counseling issues as severe as Suicidal Thoughts to individuals who just need a listening ear. I would love to keep working with today’s youth as this population is where my heart is.
