Welcome to the Silo Early Childhood Counseling page!

My goal is to help every child feel safe, supported, connected, and ready to learn. During the early childhood years, children are learning important skills such as managing emotions, making friends, solving problems, building confidence, and adjusting to new experiences.

I am here to partner with students, families, and teachers to support the social, emotional, and academic success of our students in Pre-K through 2nd grade.
