A Little About Me
This is my 11th year as a school counselor and my second year working in NP! I am excited to be here and work alongside incredible staff members, inspiring students and caring families! As a school-based counselor, I provide individual counseling, small group counseling as well as classroom guidance lessons that focus on Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Character Education. As you browse my site, I hope that you find insightful resources. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly with any specific questions or concerns. Since I am shared between both AWR and SB, email is the best way to reach me!
Just Breathe
Sometimes we forget how important a simple deep breath in and out can be to our well-being as adults. I love sharing this video with students as it shows children teaching adults how to take a deep breath when they feel angry or frustrated. Children learning from other children can be very meaningful.
Digital Citizenship
While attending a conference a few years back, I came across a book titled The Technology Tail: A Digital Footprint Story by famed children's author, Julia Cook. It is a creative journey through a computer's perspective as tweens navigate the digital playground. I highly recommend reading this as a family or turning to it as a resource when difficult questions and scenarios arise while socializing online.
