CURRENT CHALLENGES
Why Work
With Me?
Quick fixes don’t work in education. With over 20 years as a school counselor, administrator, professor, program creator and director, I help schools build sustainable systems and maximize resources by elevating the role and impact of school counselors.
Through system redesign, coaching, and professional learning, I help school communities build capacity, improve collaboration and create equitable school cultures defined by clarity, communication, and collaboration.
-
Without the time and space for proactive engagement, school counselors are often pushed into reactive problem-solving. The result is less opportunity to focus on prevention, growth, and the meaningful connections that help students thrive.
-
When roles are unclear, even skilled educators struggle to make their full impact. School counselors are trained to support academic, social-emotional, and career development, but when their work drifts from that purpose, everyone loses focus. Clear roles bring alignment, consistency, and stronger outcomes for students and staff alike.
-
Student needs are rising while resources remain limited. Schools are asked to do more with less, often without the systems or structures to sustain the work. When capacity doesn’t match demand, even the most committed teams face burnout, inequity deepens, and progress stalls.
“creating a collaborative school Culture is the gift that keeps on giving”
My Approach is Simple.
