I am available to work with students individually for a number of problems that might be present, such as friendship issues, difficulty in the classroom, on the playground or on the bus, conflict resolution, new student orientation, grief and divorce issues, difficulty coming to school and anger management, to name a few. Referrals for students to meet with the counselor can be made by classroom teachers or other school staff (principal, school nurse, etc.), by parents or through student self-referrals (yes, even at the elementary level!). Please keep in mind that I am certified in school counseling and am available to speak with parents concerning issues interfering with school progress. I am not certified in family counseling, but will be happy to work with our school's mental health consultant to obtain a community referral for you. If you have any questions or concerns about your child, feel free to call me.
