ABOUT ME
As a member PYLUSD's mental health team, my goal is to prioritize the wellbeing and mental health of our students. With an array of interventions and evidence-based practices, I offer short-term group and individual support based on need. As an essential part of the VHS team, I support students and families through high-risk situations with a high standard of care. I understand that many students and families can face a variety of challenging situations that may hinder performance in school and my goal is to work alongside them to create continuity of care that allows them to achieve their highest potential.
