Wellness Staff
Welcome!
Duyen "Uwey" Belletto, LMFT
Wellness Coordinator
I'm excited to join the wellness team at SCHS! I have many years of experience working with elementary and secondary students. High school students are my favorite group to work with! I also enjoy music, traveling, trying new foods and being a mom.
Cindy Lipson, MA, LMFT
Wellness Coordinator
I'm enjoying getting to know the SCHS community. A little about myself: I was born and raised in Minneapolis, and moved to California to attend Santa Clara University in 1998. After receiving my Bachelor’s degree in psychology I decided to further my education, by obtaining a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology. Since 2010 I have worked as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in a variety of clinical and educational settings. However, there is a special place in my heart for high school students.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing with my dog, baking, and reading.
Dupe Thomas, MSW
Wellness Outreach Worker
Hi students! My name is Dupe (she/her). I can connect you with wellness support and share mental health resources. I co-advise the BC2M Peer Helpers wellness club on campus, provide class/club presentations and work with community partners to provide resources and support for students.
All of my education is in Social Work, a broad discipline with many opportunities. I have a variety of experience working with students in schools and community organizations, as well as the medical field and supporting unhoused families.
I love coffee and being outdoors - the beach is my happy place!
Lauri Macey (she/her)
Clinical Associate
Hello! I'm Lauri (aka Laura) (I don't care which one you use :) I won't even notice.) I grew up in Berkeley during the days of hippies and tear gas. I have a BA in Chemistry and Fine Art (I know weird combo) from UCSC (go Slugs!) and a Masters in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University. I love working with high-school students because I know how stressful it can be to be a teen in the Bay Area.
When I am not in the Wellness Center, I love to have adventures, travel, hike, and do art projects. I'm useless at video games but I'm always excited to hear about your online adventures!
Bella Vasper
Clinical Associate
Hi there! My name is Bella (she/her). I grew up here in Santa Clara, and graduated from San Jose State University with my Masters in Clinical Psychology. I love meeting with students and working together to find ways to promote wellness and let go of stress in a healthy way.
When I am not at Santa Clara High, I love spending time with my dog Sophie, rock climbing, baking sweet treats, playing video games, and taking day trips to Santa Cruz and SF.
Fabiola Aguirre
Social Work Intern
Hiiiii ! (:
My name is Fabiola but Faby works as well. I was born and raised in Hayward CA and moved to Tahoe when I was 13. I found my way back to the Bay when I began my undergrad at San Jose State. I am currently attending again to obtain my Masters in Social Work. I will graduate in May :D I am a HUGE advocate for mental health awareness and enjoy promoting the importance as much as I can (especially with teens).
I enjoy trying new coffee shops, reading a good book, going to the gym and spending time with my friends and family in my spare time. I am a sunset, tacos, hiking, coffee/tea and chocolate lover. <3
