Counseling
School Counseling works to meet the academic, career, and personal/social needs of EVERY student.
The school counseling program benefits all students at Streams Elementary School! The purpose of the program is to address the developmental needs of students as well as provide additional support and accommodations as needed.
As the School Counselor, I offer:
- Classroom Lessons that focus on age appropriate, relevant topics.
- Small Groups for friendship, self-esteem, managing worries, and basic social skills.
- Individual brief counseling to address a variety of concerns.
- Daily teacher collaboration.
I act as:
- An advocate for all students.
- Student Support Services (S³) Building Coordinator, our district's system of team collaboration to ensure the success of all students.
- Test Coordinator for Terra Nova, InView, OLSAT, and PSSAs.
- Liaison with district services, including but not limited to district psychologists, speech therapists, etc.

I am also available to meet with parents individually. Please feel free to contact me if your child is experiencing difficulties that may have an impact on academic performance such as academic stress, grief or loss, changing families, peer relations, etc. I want all students to feel comfortable, confident, and successful at Streams!
