I am a licensed clincial mental health counselor/school social worker. I have a Master's Degree in Social Work and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker License, along with a School Social Worker license. I have been teaching children and teens about mental health for four years, and I love helping students learn ways to help with their emotions and unhelpful thoughts!
