Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health

Sometimes kids don’t need us to fix their problems — they just need us to listen.

Try saying:
💬 “That sounds really tough.”
💬 “I can see why you’d feel that way.”
💬 “I’m here for you.”

Your presence matters more than perfect words.

I’m thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new after-school program I’ve created — Storycrafters! 📚🎨

Storycrafters is a creative, project-based club designed for elementary and middle school students to explore the magic of stories through reading, writing, and art. Each week, students will:
✨ Dive into meaningful book discussions
🎨 Bring stories to life through hands-on art projects
📖 Learn how to create their own journals and books to showcase their creativity

This program was designed to foster literacy, creativity, confidence, and collaboration — all while helping students find their unique voice through storytelling.

As a counselor and educator, I’m passionate about creating spaces where students can connect emotionally and artistically. Storycrafters combines everything I love about literature, play, and self-expression — and I can’t wait to see what our young authors and artists create! 💛

💛 Kids do better when parents work together.
Co-parenting = less stress, more security, and stronger self-esteem.

Two homes, one team. 🏡✨
