7:45 am - 2:15 pm when school is in session
I provide classroom guidance as well as small group counseling. I meet with students occasionally if they are having a rough day or just need a place to calm down.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Counseling
I hope that everyone has a restful and happy break. In December, I have taught kindness lessons to the 4th graders. I teach WhyTry to the 5th graders. It is a curriculum that is a strength-based approach to helping students overcome their challenges and improve their outcomes using a multi-sensory approach where students learn with visual analogies and hands-on classroom activities. I will see everyone back in January where I will resume classroom lessons with Kinder and 1st grades. Happy Break!
Confidentiality & Informed Consent
Confidentiality is always maintained in both group and individual counseling sessions. There may be circumstances when it is necessary to release confidential information regarding a student.
State law requires that any suspicion or evidence of child abuse/neglect, elder abuse, or knowledge of a minor engaging in dangerous or illegal behavior be reported to the appropriate child protection agencies and/or legal authorities. Furthermore, if a student poses a serious danger to him/herself or is a substantial danger to others, any individual (including school personnel) with knowledge, evidence, or suspicion of said danger, is required by law to intervene.
The intervention may include informing family members, identified victims, and/or the proper authorities to provide for the safety of the student and others.
