Wilson Middle School

Our school counselors are committed to working with all students to help them achieve their full potential. We collaborate with school staff, families, and the community to create a safe, respectful learning environment where young people can take personal and academic risks as they grow into empathetic, productive, positive members of society.

We look forward to working with you!

I have worked as a school counselor at the Wilson Middle School for fourteen years, and I have loved growing and working with this vibrant community. I know that the middle school years can be tough, but love helping students and families through these challenging times. I got my BA at Stonehill College in 2003, and completed my Masters at Boston College in 2006. One of my greatest accomplishments at Wilson has been the creation of the Mentoring Program, which was created to connect students with adults in school through activities and building relationships. Outside of being a counselor, I love theatre and the arts. I have two kids of my own, who are keeping me on my toes!

I am excited to begin my sixth full year as a school counselor at Wilson Middle School. I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Middlebury College. I completed my master's degree in Prevention Science and Practice (2020) and my post-master's Certificate of Advanced Studies in Adolescent School Counseling (2021), both at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I believe in a comprehensive school counseling model that centers students’ humanity, views families as essential partners, builds strong connections with the community, and advocates for every student. My goal is to help create a school environment where students feel valued, supported, and empowered to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Outside of WMS, I enjoy coaching lacrosse, teaching my cat Mia new tricks, traveling, cheering on the New York Islanders, reading, exercising, and spending time outdoors.

I have worked in the Natick Public Schools for over 30 years and have been at Wilson for sixteen of those years. I have great faith in young people and consider it a privilege to work with the families at Wilson. I received my undergraduate degree at the University of New Hampshire and my Master's of Education in Counseling at Bridgewater State University. My husband and I have three children, ages 27, 26 and 24, all of whom went through Wilson. Outside of Wilson Middle School, I perform in a local multigenerational choir, Sound & Spirit, with my daughter, son-in-law, and many friends. I also serve on the Artistic Committee for Sound & Spirit. I enjoy walking, yoga, going to Broadway shows, and spending time with family and friends.

I am thrilled to be working as a school counselor here at Wilson. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Merrimack College and my graduate degree in Professional Psychology from Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology (now William James College). I have worked in local schools for the past 13 years as a counselor, teaching assistant, and in other student support roles. I am eager to build trusting relationships with students, staff, and parents in the Natick community. Middle school can often be regarded as the "challenging" or "awkward" years, but I feel fortunate to be involved at a time when so much development and learning takes place that allows students to build their skills and find themselves as adolescents. I have always loved working with kids and appreciate the unique insight they offer. I am happily married to my husband, and am a busy mom to my daughter (12 years) and son (10 years). I value the importance of time spent with family and friends. I also love home projects, traveling, and have a deep love for musical theater (although you would never catch me on the stage!).
