What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can blend clinical and educational expertise to support students' social-emotional growth, lead trauma-informed practices, mentor staff, and develop transition and SEL programs.

I am a relationship-centered School Adjustment Counselor with over 25 years supporting children, adolescents, and families across educational and clinical settings. My work integrates clinical depth with classroom experience to support students with language-based learning disabilities, ADHD, ASD, anxiety, and social-emotional challenges.

Formerly licensed as an LMHC with nine years of post-licensure clinical experience, I have provided individual, family, and group therapy and worked directly with youth in acute psychiatric crisis in adolescent partial hospital programs. I employ CBT, Relational, and Psychodynamic approaches while coordinating aftercare and community supports.

At Learning Prep School I have served since 2000 in roles including History Teacher, Special Education Teacher, High School Adjustment Counselor, CPI Instructor, Student Council Advisor, and leader of the Social Communication Summer Program (ESY). I design evidence-based group curricula, run transition planning, and lead trauma-informed crisis prevention training for staff.

I am known for fostering self-determination, self-advocacy, emotional regulation, and social connection; colleagues describe me as dedicated, insightful, and deeply committed. My recent yearbook dedication recognizes 25 years of service and reflects my sustained leadership, compassion, and positive impact on students and school culture.
