She holds a B.S. in Family Studies and Child and Adolescent Development from the University of New Hampshire, a MEd in School Counseling from Keene State College, and is certified as a Registered School Based Play Therapist (RPT-SB). In addition to School Counseling, she has worked for non-profit agencies supporting children and families within their homes and communities. Julianne was drawn to Waldorf education because she believes in the power of play, engagement in nature, and the importance of deepening learning through artistic expression. She is passionate about the field of play therapy and believes in children's innate ability to process and heal through play. Outside of work, Julianne enjoys going on trail rides with her horse; Copper, kayaking, hiking, and exploring nature with her puppy and daughter, who is in the Early Childhood program.
