As the credentialed mental health professional on staff, I work with students, families and staff to help students experience success at school. Through individual and small group counseling, through whole class lessons, collaboration with teachers and other mental health professionals, I help students gain insight into themselves and others, enhance self-concept, and achieve skills in problem solving and decision-making. I also supervise our Student Support Services.
Please feel free to contact me at any time if I can be of assistance to you and your child!
