I am excited and honored to serve you and your child!

Your School Counselor’s Belief System:

• Every student deserves to feel safe, wanted and successful.

 

• This is best accomplished when the school, parents, and students work as a team.

 

• Having a strong, comprehensive School Counseling Program serves our school, students, parents, families, and community.  

 

• Students of all ages benefit from learning skills to self-regulate and advocate for themselves.
