Teacher expertise and credentials
Pennsylvania Teaching Certificate
Master's Degree in Psychology from Rosemont College
As a licensed mental health therapist and behavior specialist, practicing in the state of PA, I know how children and teens experience stress and challenges as they grow.
Over the past 15 years, I have provided therapy, self-esteem, and social skills classes for youth ages 5-21 in private practice, community, and school settings. I have had the privilege of helping many kids overcome obstacles and develop confidence and healthy self-esteem.
I empower children to build on their unique strengths and equip them with the tools they need to develop important social-emotional skills to overcome life’s stressors and grow happy and healthy.
In addition to my counseling experience, I am a mom of four and a children’s book author with both self-published and traditionally published works focusing on mental health, social skills, self-esteem, and related topics. I bring both personal and professional experience to my work, blending practical tools with an empathetic understanding of children’s needs.Reviews
