I would like to take this time to introduce myself and let you know a little of what led me to where I am today. I have worked as a child therapist providing therapy to children for 15 years in the city of Harrisburg before I became a school counselor. Seven and a half years at Cornell Abraxas as a Mobile Therapist/Behavioral Specialist Consultant. The last two years there, I worked as the clinic director and supervisor for all of the regional residential treatment facilities. After that, I worked at Philhaven as a MT/BSC doing mostly trauma therapy for seven and a half years. For 17 years I also worked part time as a outpatient counselor and group therapist at Schaffner Youth Center. Now I am a certified school counselor as well as a nationally certified k-12 school counselor working at Downey School in Harrisburg School District. I am a crisis team leader, part of the building leadership team and a MTSS coach.
