Welcome To Counseling!
Middle school is a very difficult time for most students. It is a time of personal exploration, a time to seek out one's own identity, and physiologically it's a time of rapid growth. Together, these attributes of the middle school aged student produces much insecurity and fear. My counseling goal is to create an environment where each and every student is able to find confidence in themselves and believe in their own competence as learners.
Our counseling team provide support and services in a variety of ways:
