Hello and Welcome to the Severna Park Elementary School Counseling website!
Hello and Welcome to the Severna Park Elementary School Counseling website!
As a school counselor, my goal is to support the academic, career, and social/emotional success of all students. I also work with students and families to support behavior concerns, communicating with outside therapists and agencies, and successfully transitioning our students to middle school and beyond.
Students can drop by my office to fill out a request form (below). Parents and guardians, please feel free to call or email if you have questions, concerns, or would like to set up a time to meet to discuss your student(s). I'm looking forward to a great school year!

Confidentiality is respected, unless the student plans on hurting themselves, hurting some else, or someone is hurting them.

Students in grades 3-5 can self-refer. Younger students can ask their teacher or parent to reach out to me!
How can I contact my child's school counselor?
How can I contact my child's school counselor?
Call the school and ask for the counselor: 410-222-6577. You can also reach out via email. Be reminded that confidentiality will be respected unless the student plans on hurting themselves, hurting some else, or someone is hurting them.
Due to the nature of my job, in-person meetings are best scheduled in advance. I will likely not be able to meet with parents who walk in due to pre-scheduled counseling lessons, groups, and individual student needs.

How does my child contact you?
If your child is in PK-2nd grade, students can self-refer by asking their teacher to see me. If teachers are concerned about a student they will e-mail or call me to refer a student.
Students in grades 3-5 can write me a note to put in my mailbox outside my office.

Lesson topics include healthy relationships, substance abuse, career awareness and academic planning, and healthy coping skills.
I also teach lessons that are required by the state. Erin's law lessons entail material on child sexual abuse. You can view the lesson plans here.
