It's important that all of my students' voices and feelings are heard. Sometimes, children deal with things we don't even know are happening or how to deal with the problem at hand. Counseling can help navigate difficult life situations, problems at school such as bullying and drama, or anxiety, coping skills, and stress. Counselors are available to help the students feel safe, welcomed, and help with any problems. It's scary to ask for help, but nobody is here to judge any of our students, we're just here if they need us. If you need to talk to someone, I'm always available as well as our counselors, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Ford.
