This is my third year at PVI. I hold a Bachlors Degree in Social Work
from the College of New Rochelle (a women's Catholic College) and a Masters
Degree in Counseling from Va. Tech. This spring I begin my doctoral studies
in Counselor Education with a cognate in Marriage and Family Counseling,
also at VA. Tech. My previous experience includes five years with Fairfax
County Schools as a Counselor and Test Coordinator; 30 years working with
teens and their families as a Youth Minister and Catechist for both the
Military and Arlington Diocese, and for the International Catholic Community
while living over seas. I remain active in the CCD program at Nativity
Church in Burke.
I am the mother of three adult children. My oldest daughter is a
graduate of Catholic University and resides in the DC area. My middle
daughter is a graduate of West Virginia University and is continuing her
studies towards a Masters degree in English Literature. My son, who is also
my youngest, just began his career as an EMT (Emergency
Medical Technician. He plans to continue his education toward becoming a
full time fire-fighter and Paramedic.
I was born and raised in New York City. I met and married my husband
after his graduation from West Point. His Army Career had us traveling and
living all over the world to include assignments on both coasts and in
Asia. As a result of these "adventures" I have been privileged to live
among and learn about families of many different cultures.
As empty nesters, my husband and I love to travel and visit wineries,
which we do as often as time and money allow. In my spare time I enjoy
gardening, reading, playing with our Shelties, JJ and Joshua, and going to
the movies.
I feel privileged to be a member of the faculty here at Paul VI. This
is a community, not just a school. Thank you for the opportunity to work
with your children.
A School Counselor provides psycho-educational support to the students of
PVI. This is done in several ways:
> Provide college/career planning.
> Helping to identify and communicate special educational support to
teachers.
> Coordinate meetings with teachers and parents and students as needed.
> Offer special support groups for students with special needs.
> Help students get over any hurdles that may be in their way of academic
success.
> Be an advocate for the student as needed.
Paramount is, CONFIDENTIALITY! Anything that is said in my office, stays
in my office. Unless a person should suggest harm to themselves or others,
nothing is shared without that person's consent.
I work hand-in-hand with Advisors, Faculty and Staff to provide these
services. Each situation is handled on a case-by-case basis, treating each
student, parent, and faculty member as an individual.
