Your confidentiality as a student is important to me! In our School Counseling Office and Classroom, what is said in here, stays in here, with the following exceptions, as required by law and/or ethical standards:

1. Harm to self or others

2. Abuse or neglect

3. Court or other legal proceedings

If there is ever a need to reveal information, I will let you know in advance, and work with you to handle the situation in a way that respects you, your feelings, and your needs.

The role of a school counselor is to provide culturally competent services to students, parents/guardians, school staff, and the community through school guidance curriculum, individual student planning, responsive services and system support. Middle School Counselors work as a team with school staff, parents and the community to create a caring, supportive atmosphere where young adolescents can achieve academic success, have personal growth, gain positive social skills, set appropriate career goals and realize full potential to become contributing members of the community.
