In high school I was told by my school counselor that I was not college material. He said I should learn a trade like being a mechanic. I have family members that are mechanics and they are awesome. My dad taught me how to work on a 1979 Ford Fairmont. My first car.. The only response I had for my school counselor was, "I don't like getting dirty." I remember being angry and upset that this guy was trying to tell me what I could and could not do with my life. I was determined to prove him wrong. Nobody, especially someone I saw once a year, was going to tell me my future. I was going to college and that was that.

I went to college and loved it. I actually excelled and continued growing as I went. I learned a great deal about my self and others. I found that I enjoy helping others anyway I can.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York with a Doctorate in Educational Leadership. My interest include school counselor leadership and organizational culture change. I have provided workshops and trainings on communication, building relationships, bullying and cyber bullying with teens, managing teenage behavior, substance abuse, school counselor leadership and interpersonal skills. I am willing to help you in any what that I can.
