“I look for opportunities to empower students.  I enjoy supporting them in their individual journey: in the classroom, in the dorm, and in counseling.  I think about each student holistically, and enjoy learning about their strengths and passions-in addition to what challenges them. Counseling isn’t just about the hard work, there are many lighthearted moments too. There is plenty of room for laughter in the health center!”

“Regardless if you are meeting with me for the 1st or 34th time, it is an honor each and every time that one is sharing their private thoughts and feelings with me. I approach our time with great respect and compassion, to hear your story, so that we can collaborate to find healing and solutions. I am also excited to be a part of Milton Academy community where I get to know and support students outside of the Health Center.”
