Meet the Team

Hello! My name is Ariana Schwalbenberg, and I’m the new school counseling intern here for the 2025-2026 school year. I am excited to get to know you all this year and be part of your child’s educational journey!

As an intern, I’m here to support the social, emotional, and academic well-being of all students. While I work under the supervision of Rebecca Chadwick, our school counselor, my role involves offering a variety of services, including individual counseling, group activities, classroom guidance lessons, and helping students navigate challenges that may arise in their academic and personal lives.

A little about me: I grew up down the highway in Petaluma but now call Rohnert Park home. I'm currently in the last year of my school counseling program at Sonoma State University and have my bachelors from SSU in psychology. Outside of internship, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends whether it’s sharing a home cooked meal, enjoying a river day, or curling up with a good book! I am an animal lover and have a 3 year old cat named Sam, a Madagascar hissing cockroach named Courtesy who helps out with the farm camp I co-run in the Summer, and an aquarium with a handful of ember tetras, snails, and one African dwarf frog. 

I am so looking forward to getting to know the community here and working alongside y’all to ensure a positive and supportive experience!
