Counseling Philosophy:
“Each student has their own unique experiences to communicate, and I aim to help each student describe their experiences in the most compelling way. I work to form meaningful relationships with students to help them engage with their writing most effectively. I also believe that clear communication is critical - students will benefit the most when their ideas are being heard and when we have an open dialogue throughout the writing process.”
