That’s me at the NYC balloon museum…

When I’m not jumping into giant ball pits, I can often be found working with my middle school, adolescent, and young adult clients. In fact, the transition into adolescence and adulthood can often feel like a dive into the deep end. (That transitional leap was quite unintentional but these puns are most certainly not!) There is nothing quite like the anticipation of deciding, “Who am I and what am I going to do with my life?!” The excitement and unknowns almost inevitably trigger our deepest anxieties and fears. While wearing my many hats as a clinician, post-secondary planning teacher, transition planning advisor and testing coordinator, I have witnessed the excitement and angst of college, gap year, and career planning. My clients and their support networks are all unique and deserve help that meets their individual needs. It’s a collaborative effort!
