My purpose is to work with school faculty and staff, students, parents, and community to plan, implement and evaluate a comprehensive developmental guidance and counseling program. Students will also receive counseling in order to fully develop their academic, career, personal, and social abilities and address their needs; to include at-risk students.
You can contact me by email, phone or just come on by and say hi!
