Counselor Corner
Neil Armstrong Staff Counselor
Welcome to our school counseling page! I am so excited to work with the Neil Armstrong community.
About Me:
I am a mom of twins, a certified yoga instructor, a credentialed English teacher and school counselor, and a lover of nature and animals. When I’m not at work, you can generally find me hiking in the hills with my dog, Eddie.
School Counseling Goals:
The school counselor will collaborate with teachers, administrators, school psychologists, Rainbow Room facilitators, social workers, parents, and other professionals to advocate for the equity and achievement of every student. The school counselor aims to build a comprehensive school counseling program to promote all students’ social, emotional, and academic development, as well as develop their college and career awareness.
Passions:and Beliefs:
I am passionate about supporting students’ mental health, advocating for social emotional learning, celebrating diversity, and empowering our youth to create positive change in the world. My belief is that, given the right tools, our students can overcome trauma, reset their nervous systems, and learn to regulate their emotions in order to work well with others and thrive, not only in an academic environment, but in all aspects of life.
