My purpose as the school counselor is to work with students, parents, and fellow staff members to help students receive the support needed to be successful, reach their full academic potential, and have a positive school experience. In order to do this I meet with students individually, in small groups, and in whole class settings. I teach students various coping strategies, skills, and methods to handle various challenges. All counseling services are brief and solution-focused. I will also provide referrals necessary for more intense services at parents’ request and can act as a liaison to provide information and resources with school based support and outside agencies.
