Social Emotional Learning
We are committed to fostering a positive school environment where students feel safe, supported, and empowered. One of the key ways we do this is by teaching Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). SEL helps students develop essential life skills, such as understanding and managing their emotions, setting and achieving positive goals, building healthy relationships, and making responsible decisions.
Through interactive classroom lessons, small group activities, and individual counseling sessions, we guide students in exploring topics like empathy, conflict resolution, self-awareness, and resilience. These skills are critical not only for their success in school but also for their overall well-being and future life challenges.
Academic
We play a key role in helping students reach their full academic potential. Our goal is to ensure that every student has the tools, resources, and strategies they need to succeed in their studies and develop a lifelong love of learning. We provide support in a variety of ways, including academic planning, goal setting, and teaching effective study and organizational skills.
We work closely with students to identify their strengths and areas for growth, help them set achievable academic goals, and create personalized plans for success. By collaborating with teachers and parents, I ensure that students receive the guidance and encouragement they need to thrive academically.
College and Career
As a school counselor, we help students begin exploring their future possibilities by providing guidance on college and career readiness. It’s never too early to start thinking about the future.
Through engaging lessons, workshops, and individual meetings, we introduce students to various high school programs, college options, and career possibilities. Every student will participate in our annual Career Day and the the Upper grades will have the opportunities to participate in college tour field trips throughout the year.

Student/Parent Resources
We all have feelings! When kids develop a strong emotional toolkit, they are better able to handle the ups and downs of life. As parents, we can help children name their feelings, understand them and develop strategies for expressing them in healthy ways.
Home routines are very important for students mental health and sets them up for school success.
Social Skills
Children are social from the start of life. They observe how people interact with them. They pay close attention to facial expressions and tone of voice. And they develop appropriate behavior based on what they see.
Rule setting with Teenagers
Rule-setting and monitoring is more than a necessary task of parenting. It is essential to raising children to thrive far into the future.
Building healthy relationships with your parents (For Teens)
Supportive relationships with caring adults matter to your well-being.
Understand how Teens Think
