School Counseling

School counseling is about helping every student feel seen, supported, and empowered to succeed. While academics are an important part of school, students also need guidance in developing social-emotional skills, building healthy relationships, exploring future careers, and learning how to navigate life's challenges with confidence. As the school counselor at AXL Academy, I work collaboratively with students, families, teachers, and community partners to create a safe, inclusive environment where every child can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Whether I'm helping a student manage anxiety, resolve conflict, discover their strengths, or prepare for life beyond middle school, my goal is to equip them with the skills they need to thrive both inside and outside the classroom. I believe every student has unique potential, and I strive to create meaningful relationships that foster resilience, self-confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Structure of Middle School Counseling 

Middle school is a time of tremendous growth, change, and self-discovery, and the counseling program at AXL Academy is designed to support students through each stage of that journey. This year, there will be a greater emphasis on small group counseling as a proactive way to help students build social-emotional skills, strengthen peer connections, and develop healthy coping strategies. Counseling groups will meet once a week for one hour over the course of six weeks and may focus on topics such as anxiety, emotional regulation, friendship skills, executive functioning, self-esteem, healthy relationships, grief and loss, and other areas based on student need. In addition to groups, students will continue to receive classroom lessons, academic and career planning support, crisis intervention, and individual check-ins as appropriate.

Students also have access to Open Office Hours for brief, solution-focused support, questions, or to request additional counseling services. Appointment requests can be submitted at any time by scanning the QR codes posted outside the counseling office, in each student's Google Classroom, or by using the scheduling link available on this website. My goal is to provide every student with accessible, meaningful support while fostering the skills, confidence, and resilience they need to be successful both in school and beyond.
