Individual Counseling: If your child child has a short-term problem or needs some skills to be successful in their academic, career or social emotional development, I can help.

Group Counseling: Sometimes students have similar challenges and it is more effective to see all of the students in the a group for about 6-8 times. We work on things like friendship skills, communication and self-esteem.

If a problem requires me to meet with the student more than that, I have the parent or guardian sign a consent form. Here is the form:
