Welcome

My mission as a school counselor and counselor educator is to create a comprehensive program that empowers all students to challenge themselves to meet their fullest potential. I believe that a school counseling/counselor education program should address the academic, career, and social/emotional developmental needs of students. This is best achieved with the involvement of parents, families, staff, and community members that are engaged in the learning process. I am committed to upholding the highest ethical and legal standards, as well as participating in professional development to keep up to date with the best practices in counseling realm.

"As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has—or ever will have—something inside that is unique to all time. It's our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression."
