I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to teach this class to you! I have a degree in Psychology with a concentration in human development and worked in the school system with children ages 3-18 for 9 years. I taught group and individual therapy sessions on a daily basis, with an emphasis on emotional regulation and control. I believe this class in general is very important for our youth.
