Personal School Counseling Philosophy:
Stronger Together

School counselors possess incredible agency within their school community to have great impact on the lives of each and every student they meet. My primary focus as a professional school counselor will be to promote the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of my students through advocacy work and empowering, strengths-based practices. I plan to cultivate an evidence-based, comprehensive counseling program constructed around both the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model, and the unique environmental context of the school. I hope to develop meaningful relationships with staff, students, and parents to help foster a warm and inclusive school environment. It is my firm belief that every single student has great potential for success, and it is the school counselor's privilege to help make that potential a reality. By listening to, respecting and empowering all students, we can encourage them to reach for the stars and become the very best versions of themselves.

I believe in utilizing education as a mechanism to change the world- one happy, healthy, successful student at a time.
