I have been providing school counseling services since 2009 and have served as the school counselor at St. Patrick School since 2015. In addition to being a certified Grief Coach, I support students' academic, social, and emotional development through a variety of services, including short-term individual counseling, small group counseling, classroom guidance lessons, and collaboration with parents and teachers. I am committed to creating a positive, inclusive environment where every student feels supported and empowered to succeed.

Classroom Lessons
Throughout the school year, students in grades 3-8 will be presented with classroom Character Education lessons. Topics will include bullying, responsibility, tolerance, goal setting and much, much more! Our lessons are interactive, interesting and fun!
Lunch Bunch
Lunch bunches are small group sessions designed to boost self-esteem, improve social skills and increase peer relations. These groups are geared towards fostering friendships and developing positive interactions among fellow students. The group provides students with a "safe environment" where they can talk freely about their accomplishments, stress, concerns and/or ideas. These groups meet either during recess (elementary students) or during the second half of the lunch period (middle school students). Participant recommendations from parents & teachers are always welcome.
Individual & Small Group Counseling
I am here to meet with students privately or within a small group setting. My office is located across from Canning Hall, next to the faculty lounge. Students can come to me and ask for a pass to meet with me during lunch, or I may send a pass to their homeroom teacher requesting for a student to meet with me at a scheduled time.
