It is my pleasure to welcome you to Wooden Elementary! I LOVE being an elementary school counselor. This is where the action is!
As a professional school counselor at Wooden Elementary, I am dedicated to empowering EVERY student to achieve academic success, personal growth, social growth, and emotional well being. By providing a comprehensive counseling program, all of the needs and goals of all our students are addressed. Collaborating with teachers, I inspire students to be fair, empathic, responsible, respectful, caring, and productive citizens.
I love teaching our Social Emotional Lessons to all of our classes in a large group setting.
Our SEL topics include:
- Friendship
- Communication
- Growth Mindset
- Bullying Awareness
- Resilience
- Personal Safety
- Drug/Alcohol Awareness
- Emotional Awareness
- Social Skills
- Empathy/Compassion
- Respect
- Responsibility
I also am available to help with short-term counseling interventions for things such as anxiety, fear, school resistance, and family issues. If it is an issue that cannot be solved short-term, I am happy to refer your student to a qualified professional counselor/therapist.
My job also includes individual counseling, small group counseling, and lunch bunch. I am the STAAR testing coordinator for Wooden. I head the RTI committee and serve on the District Advisory Committee, School Leadership Team, and School Improvement Plan Committee.
I am here to help all students, parents, and teachers. If I can serve you or assist you in any area, please feel free to contact me.
Wishing everyone a truly blessed year full of opportunity, success, and much happiness!
