What is Your Why?

 I believe that all students are talented and are doing the best they can with the level of awareness they have. Growing up, I saw firsthand the negative impact mental illness can have, and also that it doesn’t have to be a person’s destiny. Because of that, I provide unconditional positive regard to students. I support students with working through trauma responses and developing coping mechanisms while ensuring they feel seen.
