Kathleen's Story
I first became inspired while working with inner-city middle school students in Austin, Texas. Almost immediately, I realized that connecting with the students in a way that was 'beyond the classroom curriculum' made sense to me; learning about them authentically and connecting with them was the motivator for success (for them, too!)
​
After being awarded my Master of Counseling and then becoming a licensed counselor/psychotherapist, I had personally moved beyond many barriers to attain my goal: helping other young people succeed in doing what inspires them.
​
After 28 years in public education, the most valuable 'gift' I have received is the connection with other humans that are passionate about supporting young people's journeys. With each customized workshop, initiative, service project, psycho-educational group or individual counseling session created for your teen, the passion for support and positive life change will amaze and inspire you.
​
Become inspired through these counseling supports and move toward success, healthy choices and authentic life experiences.
