Welcome!
 
I joined the Greeley West Counseling Team in 2008, after teaching Special Education at West. I attended UNC and received Bachelor's Degree in K-12 Special Education and my Master's Degree in School and Clinical Counseling.

I enjoy my job everyday, because I get to work with the best students. I see students for academic, personal/social, and career reasons. I primarily serve students with the last names beginning with the letters M-Ri. Come and see me to talk about...
  • college
  • scholarships
  • grief/loss
  • attendance
  • grades
  • gangs
  • suicide
  • test anxiety
  • drugs
  • the ACT or SAT
  • schedule
  • career exploration
  • building a resume

OR

  • ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT!
