We are social beings, who need connection.

We thrive in all aspects of our lives when we have a strong web of meaningful relationships surrounding us.
Without the sense of love and belonging that those relationships provide, we struggle emotionally, mentally, and even physically.
Unfortunately, establishing a social web isn’t always easy for everyone.
Teaming up with a Social-Emotional Mentor can help.


Strengthening The Relationship Web
As a Social-Emotional Mentor, I provide mentees with a reliable, impartial adult environment of unconditional support. During casual 1-on-1 time, mentees benefit from a relaxed and confidential space to connect in. They feel seen, heard, supported, encouraged and celebrated.
Through frequent, consistent, and enduring quality time, trust is earned and a genuine bond is formed, which can have stabilizing effects on their physical and mental health.
