About Me:
Hello 8th grade families! I am pleased to be the 8th grade counselor this year. I grew up in rural Ohio before moving to Tucson, Arizona. I moved from Arizona to Portland in 2018. I'm entering my 8th year as a school counselor, and I can't imagine myself doing anything else!
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, singing soprano in local choirs, reading, crochet, hiking, and watching films.
My counseling approach is based upon unconditional positive regard for students and their families. I believe students are the experts on their own experiences, and I like to work with students to find and develop their intrinsic strengths. Please reach out to me with any questions or requests.
