My role as the school counselor at LNFI upper campus (grades 2-5) is to help every student thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.  In partnership with students, staff, family, and other members of the community, I strive to prepare students to become effective learners, achieve success in school, live successful and rewarding lives, and develop into contributing members of our society. I strongly believe all students reach their learning potential through the foundation of positive relationships at school.

I work with students in the following ways:

• Individual student meetings
• Facilitate small groups
• Teach classroom counseling lessons
• Support students who are having a rough day or are feeling sad
• Teacher consultation and collaboration
• Crisis intervention
• Conflict resolution
• Help students develop a positive attitude toward school and learning
• Improve student communication skills and develop effective decision-making and self regulation strategies.

I am also the 504 and attendance team coordinator.
