About the school counseling process

Many students and families are unsure about what school counseling really is or worry that asking for help means something is “wrong.” Some students feel nervous about opening up or fear that their problems aren’t important enough. Parents may wonder how counseling fits into academics or how confidentiality works. The biggest challenge is often understanding that school counseling is a safe, supportive process designed to help—not judge. It’s about learning skills, building confidence, and finding positive solutions together.

Positive outcomes

Through the school counseling process, I hope students gain confidence, self-awareness, and practical skills they can use throughout life. I want them to feel more in control of their emotions, better able to communicate, and more motivated to reach their goals. Counseling can help students improve focus, strengthen relationships, and see challenges as opportunities for growth. The ultimate goal is for every student to leave feeling supported, capable, and proud of the progress they’ve made—both in and out of the classroom.
