I've been the  school counselor at Jefferson Elementary since 2012. My role as the counselor is to promote and implement activities that focus on meeting the needs of all students.  I do this by:

- teaching counseling curriculum in each classroom . Topics vary by grade level but encompass Social/Emotional, Academic, and College and Career Readiness standards.  I have an emphasis on mindfulness, resilience and Toolbox and arts integration. 

- providing individual student planning for academic, career or personal/social needs

- facilitating  counseling groups (friendship, social skills , mindfulness) 

- providing consultation, referral, or crisis support services to parents & guardians

I believe parent communication is essential to this process! We are a team !  Please contact me  if you have any questions or concerns about your child.  

A bit about me. I love the curiosity and exuberance of our students ! In my spare time ,I enjoy hiking, biking,  skiing, yoga, cooking and traveling .  Basically anything outside !
