As an elementary school guidance counselor, I serve all students in various ways.
I am also available to conference with parents.

Classroom Guidance
As the counselor, I will be providing classroom guidance lessons in each classroom throughout the year. I will visit all students in their classroom, monthly, and provide a whole group lesson. Guidances topics will include The 7 Habits, career awareness, friendship, conflict resolution strategies, safety, bullying, resiliency, and more!
Individual Counseling
Students may be referred to the counseling office by a parent, staff member, a peer or they may come on their own. I will address the student's needs in a developmentally appropriate way and teach them the skills they need for coping or overcoming the issue at hand.
Group Counseling
I provide small group counseling sessions to some students on an as needed basis. Children can participate in these sessions only with the permission of the parent. If a child is referred by a staff member to a counseling group, the parent will be contacted for permission. If you, as a parent, feel like your child would benefit from small group services, please contact the counseling office. Sessions may include topics like family changes (moving, baby, separation, divorce, etc.), social skills, making and keeping friends and worrying.
