What I do

My job is to help St. Francis students thrive, academically, socially, and emotionally. I believe that every student can succeed when they have what they need to feel safe and supported. My services include:

Individual student support with academic planning, goal setting, and problem solving ("one-off" appointments that focus on a particular issue)
Short-term counseling for students, individually and in small groups (weekly or biweekly counseling sessions that require caregiver consent)
Classroom lessons on topics related to school success, social-emotional wellbeing, and college and career readiness
Collaboration with families, teachers, administrators, and community resources to reduce barriers to students' learning

At the heart of it all, I offer a school counselor's eccentrical skillset to help St. Francis provide a Christ-centered education that empowers students to reach their full potential- spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and morally. If you want to learn more about any aspect of school counseling, check out my FAQ page or reach out to me!

Who I am

In addition to being a licensed school counselor in the state of Washington (see the FAQs for more about what that means), I am

🏡a proud resident of SeaTac, where I share a home with my husband and giant dog

🗺️a transplant from New England (I've also lived in Ohio, Arizona, Texas, and Colorado!)

🌸a lover of being outside, where I feel most connected to God and the vast, mysterious, beautiful web of life

🍳an avid cook

🎨a person who loves to make art

🌌someone who has always been drawn to thinking (some might say overthinking) about the Big Questions, like how live a meaningful life, how to make sense of suffering, and how to solve conflict with others so that we can all enjoy the miracle of being here on Earth together.

A meandering path led me to school counseling; I come from a range of experiences that include work and volunteering in schools, social services, a women's prison, a library, and many, many cafes (you'd be surprised at how many lessons from food service jobs carry over into other domains--if you know, you know!). I'm delighted to be at St. Francis!
