I believe that every student is a constantly developing festoon of creative beauty and complicated needs. I know that for every behavior a student shows there varying layers of emotion underneath it, and that they want to be heard and understood. I believe the young people of today are our greatest hope- that they will bring about radical change in caring for others and the environment. While there all kinds of new pitfalls to the wealth of information available to students growing up with the internet, I believe they are becoming more globally conscious, and they want more for the world. It is my hope that I can help them processes many of the intricate complications of developing as a teenager in 2022.
While communicating with students and parents (virtually or in-person) I will hold to strict levels of confidentiality in which I will only share information with others if it is agreed upon by all. However if in our discussions, there is danger to yourself or others uncovered then I am required to discuss that with the people who would be best at assisting you or the person in danger.
