Where are you right now?
School counselors don't need one-size-fits-all support. What you need depends on where you are — in your career, in your role, and in your sense of yourself as a professional.
I offer three distinct services, each designed for a different moment in that journey. Take a look at each one and see what fits where you are right now. If you're not sure, that's okay too — we can figure it out together in a free consultation.

You're good at this work. You show up, you hold space, you advocate — often without anyone asking how you're doing. But something has shifted. Maybe you're running on fumes. Maybe you're questioning whether this role still fits. Maybe you know something needs to change but you can't quite see what that is yet.
Coaching is not therapy, supervision, or mentoring. It's a forward-focused partnership built entirely around you — your goals, your direction, your next chapter. You already hold the insight and capacity. Coaching creates the space to access it — and act on it.
What we work on together
Imposter feelings and perfectionism
The internal voice that says you're not doing enough, not good enough, or one mistake away from being found out. We name it, challenge it, and build something steadier in its place.
Burnout and boundaries
Not just strategies for saying no — but honest exploration of why saying no feels so hard, and what sustainable practice actually looks like for you in your specific role and context.
Career direction and role transitions
Whether you're considering a move into administration, a different district, or something outside education entirely — we explore what you want with honesty and without pressure to decide before you're ready.
Leadership capacity and confidence
For counselors stepping into expanded roles or simply wanting to show up with more intention — we build the clarity and confidence that make leadership feel sustainable, not exhausting.
This is your space. No agenda but yours.

There are things about being a school counselor that you can only understand from the inside. The isolation of a singleton position. The weight of holding a student's crisis while managing a hallway of other needs. The gap between what your training prepared you for and what Monday morning actually looks like.
Mentoring is for counselors who don't just want support — they want guidance from someone who has been there. Someone who can say "I've navigated that too" and mean it.
With 30 years inside education and the helping professions — including over two decades as a school counselor and department lead — I bring practical, experience-informed perspective to every mentoring relationship. This isn't theory. It's hard-won insight offered in service of your growth.
Mentoring is a good fit if you are:
New to the role
Finding your footing in your first years as a school counselor — building confidence, developing your professional identity, and learning to trust your instincts when the textbook doesn't cover what's in front of you.
Stepping into something new
Moving into a leadership role, a new district, or an expanded set of responsibilities — and wanting a steady, experienced voice alongside you as you grow into it.
Navigating a professional crossroads
Weighing a career decision, questioning your direction, or trying to figure out what your next chapter looks like — and wanting perspective from someone who has been in the field long enough to offer honest, grounded guidance.
How mentoring is different from coaching
Coaching is non-directive — I follow your lead, ask powerful questions, and help you access your own answers. Mentoring is more collaborative and experience-informed. I share perspective, offer guidance from my own path, and walk alongside you more actively. Both are valuable. Which one fits depends on what you need right now.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
Let's talk about where you are and whether mentoring is the right fit. A free 30-minute conversation is a good place to start.

Sometimes a counselor or a counseling department reaches a point where something structured is needed. Not evaluation. Not judgment. But a dedicated, protected space to reflect on practice, work through ethical complexity, and strengthen the professional foundation that everything else rests on.
If you've arrived here because things are hard right now — a challenging caseload, a difficult dynamic, or a formal improvement process — I want you to know that this space is not adversarial. It's supportive. My role is not to assess your worth as a counselor. It's to help you grow, stabilize, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Supervision is typically the right fit when:
You're working in isolation
Singleton counselors in rural or under-resourced schools often carry the weight of an entire district's counseling needs without a peer or colleague to think alongside. Supervision provides that missing structure and reflective partnership.
You're navigating a formal improvement process
Being placed on an improvement plan is one of the most destabilizing experiences in a counselor's career. Supervision offers a steady, non-evaluative space to strengthen your practice, rebuild confidence, and move through this moment with intention.
Your district is seeking alignment
For districts working toward vertical alignment across K-12 counseling programs, supervision provides the structure, consistency, and reflective practice needed to build a cohesive, effective department.
What we focus on together
Case conceptualization
Deepening your ability to understand, analyze, and respond to the complexity of the students and families you serve.
Ethical decision-making
Working through the gray areas — the situations where the right answer isn't clear and the stakes feel high. A space to think carefully without having to decide alone.
Professional identity and confidence
Reconnecting with who you are as a counselor — your values, your strengths, and the foundation that holds your practice together even when things are hard.
Counselor wellness and burnout prevention
You cannot pour from an empty cup. Supervision attends to the whole counselor — not just the cases, but the person carrying them.
A note on how supervision is arranged
Supervision is most often arranged and funded at the district level — particularly for singleton counselors, counselors in rural settings, or departments working toward greater alignment. If you're a counselor who thinks this might be the right fit, I'm happy to help you think through how to bring this conversation to your administration.
Hard moments don't have to be navigated alone.
Whether you're a counselor wondering if supervision is right for you, or an administrator looking for structured support for your team — let's start with a conversation.
