Life can be challenging and sometimes those life challenges can interfere with learning. When our brains are in a state of stress, we are unable to learn. As a school counselor, I am here for your student during that stressful, difficult time. 

I am available for individual counseling for students who are struggling during the school day. The goal of individual counseling is to give the student tools to overcome in order to be able to focus in the classroom. Many times students just need to talk about the issue concerning them, sometimes just being heard helps the student to overcome. 

Students can tell their teachers they’d like to come see me, they can let me know they’d like to meet, or parents/guardians can contact me or the office. Feel free to email me at criquid@usd421.org.
