School issues
Slipping grades, morning battles, calls from the front office — school struggles are rarely about laziness. They're a signal. Counseling helps uncover what's underneath and gets everyone pulling in the same direction.
When counseling can help
- —Grades dropping without a clear reason
- —School refusal or Sunday-night dread
- —Behavior reports that don't match the kid you know
- —Friendship trouble, exclusion, or bullying
- —Homework standoffs that end in tears — theirs or yours
How counseling helps
This is where my background is genuinely rare: I've been a school counselor in Douglas County schools since 2010 — including serving as department chair — alongside my counseling practice. I know how schools work from the inside — what teachers see, how support systems operate, and how to help families and schools work together instead of past each other.
With your student, the work focuses on the root cause — anxiety, learning frustration, social stress — and on building the confidence and skills to walk back in the door ready.
