We Are Now Open for Counseling!!
WillowsEdge began with an idea to do art workshops back in November 2010, and grew into opening a counseling agency that included all three things I am passionate about, counseling, art and PowerPath.
I started my career as an art teacher (certified K-12), teaching elementary through middle school students. I then received my Masters Degree in Community and School Counseling. I have spent the past 7 years working full time with a counseling agency doing substance abuse, anger management and gambling counseling. In addition, I have had several part time positions, including working as a substance abuse counselor at an alternative high school, working in the juvenile court system evaluating teens with substance abuse charges, and working at Oakland Community College as an adjunct faculty member teaching courses in Career Awareness and Techniques for Learning. In addition, I became certified in PowerPath, which screens people for learning difficulties and continue to work as a PowerPath facilitator.
My dream has always been to take all that I have learned and incorporate it into one business. This is how WillowsEdge came to be. All three of my services are interconnected with the purpose of helping clients grow in order to reach their full potential.

Currently, we are offering counseling services with the target date for art workshops beginning in April as well as PowerPath. Our blog will be completed once all our services are up and running.
