Welcome to OHA!  You have found Oak Hill because you are seeking a place where your teen can grow and reach their potential, and I’m happy to be a part of that growth.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (see the About section of this website for more information) who has extensive experience working with adolescents and families.  I served as the Director of Counseling at Oak Hill Academy for over 20 years, so I am very familiar with the boarding school environment and will bring that knowledge and understanding to our work.

I will be onsite at Oak Hill Academy, generally twice a week, and can see students weekly or more often if that is indicated. I will check their class schedules and find the best times to meet.  Telehealth can be used by mutual agreement for crisis sessions, if there is a day when inclement weather prevents me from getting to campus (not a common occurrence), and to meet with family members.

If you would like to begin counseling services or explore whether I am a good fit for your student, please just email me and we can schedule a call.  My financial information is in the Forms section of this website under Counselor Client Agreement

I will work with your student to complete their necessary forms and permissions when I see them.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. I really look forward to helping you and your student “find your joy” at this important and complex stage of life!

I'm happy you have found out about me and I look forward to connecting with you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I will be coming to Oak Hill Academy a couple of days a week to offer therapy to students.

As you know so well, life can be filled with challenges that keep you from being your best self and finding true joy in your life. For example, depression, anxiety, social concerns, past issues, family problems, life changes, traumatic events and more can all impact your ability to find your joy. Those are situations I’d like to help you with.

If you want to have a phone conversation with me to see if we can be a good fit, just text or email me at the info below and we'll set up a call. If you know you are ready to get started, simply have your parents reach out to me so we can make an appointment.

Have a good day today! I look forward to meeting you soon.
