Welcome to Pierce Park Elementary! I am honored
to be the counselor at this wonderful school. It is my intention
to ensure success in school for each student in this school.
Schedule: Monday p.m., all day Wednesdays
and Fridays.
Focus areas:
- Classroom guidance: I will be in your child’s classroom
every other week sharing lessons that help students learn
to understand themselves better, communicate clearly, and
get along with others. Occasional handouts and letters will
be coming home with your child. Please be sure to read the
letters and discuss the guidance lesson with your child.
- Small groups: As the year goes on, I may offer a variety
of small groups that will assist students in being a better
student, adjust to changes in their lives, or get along with
others better. These groups may have topics such as anger
management, social skills, or organizational skills.
- Individual work with students: My door is always open to
students who need help adjusting school or dealing with specific
problems they are experiencing.
- Parent/staff consultation: My services also include consultation
with parents and staff in the best interests of your child.
If you would like to meet with me, please feel free to call
to set up an appointment.

Educational background and experience: I graduated from
Idaho State University with a BA in Special Education and Elementary
Education. After teaching seven years in special education
and sixth grade, I returned to Boise State University to work
on my MA in School counseling. The last seven years I've worked
in the Boise School District as an elementary counselor.
When I'm not working with students at Collister or Pierce
Park, I'm a mom to a teenaged son.He keeps me busy going to
skate parks, sporting events, exploring the mountains and interpreting
all things "teenaged."
I look forward to getting to know the students and families
at Pierce Park!
