Hello! I am the Mental Health Counselor for both Brandeis and Gutermuth Elementary Schools.

My goal is to partner with the students, families and staff to provide a positive learning experience that promotes student success in and out of the classroom. I hope to support students with their personal, social and academic development. Three E's ground my approach of support: Empathy, Education, and Empowerment. I believe exercising empathy to develop a safe space will allow for educational moments to unfold that will positively impact students. With a safe environment, conducive to learning, we can equip students with the ability to empower themselves to adapt, achieve and flourish holistically.

In my free time I enjoy traveling, going on walks, and snuggling up with my cat, Chloe.
