I’ve worked in high schools for 10 years now – 8 as aLife Science teacher and 2 (and counting) as a school counselor. Listening,teaching and guiding come naturally. I gravitate towards Dialectal BehaviorTherapy because of the wealth of practical skills you can learn to feel moreequipped to handle life stressors. I’m a bit of a science nerd. I initially majored in life sciences which has pairednicely with my clinical background. The body is key component in healing andGod has built so many “safety features” in our body to help us! Understandingyour body’s biological cues in relation to your thoughts and experiences can helpyou function in alignment with our goals and values.So, there you have it!
