School Counselor
I have loved my transition to working with Middle School students. I support students academically, socially and with career development. I work with students individually, in small groups as well as in the classroom. I consider myself a key liaison between parents, teachers, and students to assist in maximizing student success and potential.
I hold two Masters degrees from Western Michigan University. One degree, in the specialty area of Counseling Psychology which allows me to practice as a Limited License Psychologist in the State of Michigan and the other degree in Counselor Education allowing me the opportunity to practice as a Licensed School Counselor.
I have worked as a school counselor for the past 15 years and have experiences in both High School and Middle school settings. Prior to working as a school counselor, I was employed by Kalamazoo Community Mental Health as a School based liaison consulting and linking students with mental health needs to appropriate services in the community. Additionally, I have a long history of working as an outreach therapist in both the public and private sector.
