Hello and welcome to the Home of the Rams and the Koelsch Counseling Department!

Focus areas:

• Classroom guidance: Throughout the year I will be providing counselor curriculum lessons in each classroom. These lessons help me to see and work with every Koelsch student while teaching important life and safety skills.
• Small groups: Small groups at Koelsch address skill areas such as friendship, coping skills, problem solving, anger management and changing family issues. Teachers and parents are welcome to make referrals.
• Individual work with students: Students, teachers and parents alike can request an opportunity to visit and review challenges or concerns. Student can receive either individual or small group support.
• Mentoring: We offer a mentoring program in conjunction with Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center. This program provides an opportunity for students to develop a meaningful relationship with a non-parental adult, which can be an important asset for many children.
• Parent/staff consultation: The challenges of parenting, managing and helping children are an ever-moving target that can often take an additional view or perspective. Contact me anytime you are looking for that different view or idea.
• Other - Peer Mediation: We have an active Peer Mediation program at Koelsch, where 4th - 6th grade students are specially trained to help other students work out problems or differences peacefully. Peer mediation helps students and helps to maintain a peacefull environment at our school.
