The Journey
Our journey isn't just about consulting – it's a heartfelt mission to transform mental health practices in schools to improve the lives of students and teachers. A mission I am proud and excited to be on.
My years of experience as a social worker taught me the value of good mental health practices and the strong foundation they provide. ​​A need among school children, particularly, caught my attention as I witnessed the toll of educator burnout impacting student care and well-being. This ignited a purpose within me and I founded Lighthouse Therapy with the goal of creating better life experiences by utilizing mental health practices.
Lighthouse Therapy is my endeavor to bridge the gap between existing practices and a future where mental health is an opportunity for people and organizations to thrive.
