Welcome to my web page! I am so happy to be the counselor for the Beach kids. Our school is overflowing with engaged students, dedicated staff, and incredible volunteers. Beach creates a continuously educational and engaging learning environment, in and out of the classrooms.

I am involved with our students in many different ways. As a school, we strive to support students academically, socially and in a career/real-world capacity. We implement the resource-based Second Step program (bullying and violence prevention) in all K-5 grade classes. This continuous link of curriculum across grade levels gives both the staff and students common language for learning about empathy, problem solving and anger management. Middle school students have social skills lessons in respect, responsibility, honesty, civic duty, perseverance, compassion and cooperation.  In addition, I work with small groups around individualized needs, as well as have one-on-one counseling sessions with students in need. I am always glad to talk or meet with families around helping their kids be more successful in all aspects of school and life. Given that I am the only counselor for all students, if you would like to meet with me, I encourage you to contact me by email or phone to set up an appointment. Thanks!
