Hi! I am the School Social Worker. I provide social, emotional and mental health support to students. This means I help students develop the skills and strategies needed to manage their emotions, build healthy connections, and navigate the challenges they encounter both in and out of school. Whether it is one-on-one counseling or group sessions, my goal is to empower students with the coping skills and resilience they need to thrive in school and in their personal well-being. I also work closely with caregivers/guardians. I offer guidance, linkage to community resources, and most importantly, work collaboratively to improve the social-emotional challenges their children may be facing.

Hi! I am a Mental Health Clinician here at Hiram Johnson High School through the Sacramento County Office of Education School-Based Mental Health and Wellness Program.   I provide mental health services to students, including individual and family therapy and links to community resources. I enjoy working with young people and their families to help them improve their functioning and overall well-being. I am here on campus as a support.

I have been a nurse for 14 years. Six of those years were spent at the old Sutter Memorial Hospital in the pediatric department. They always gave me the teenaged patients because I connected with them. I loved my time there and learned so much but the reason I got into nursing was to promote wellness and work with people to prevent disease. From chatting with students about life choices, to finding resources for families and our school community, high school nursing is my jam.

In my free time, I love to be outside chatting with friends and family, hiking through the mountains and seeing live music. I also really like to cook simple, healthy meals while singing and dancing in my kitchen.

Health Aide

Hello, My name is Erma Freeman, I have been a Health Aide for SCUSD since 2001.  I found my home at Hiram Johnson in January 2023 in the Student Support Center. I provide health services for students with medical needs in the Special Education community as well as serve students who are just not feeling well. 

In my free time, I enjoy laughing, grilling, and playing pool with my family and close friends, fishing at the river, and watching a good movie. Fun Fact about me is that I bungee-jumped off the Stratosphere in Las Vegas which is a 829 foot fall.
