2025-2026
Welcome to the 2025-2026 School Year!!! I am excited to get to know our new students and families and see our existing students and families as well!
Things you need to know about me: I am an Aggie! I love working in education and helping students become the best versions of themselves. This is my 18th year in education, my 12th year as an Elementary School Counselor, and my 8th year at Woodland Hills! I provide many services with social-emotional support through classroom guidance, as well as small group and individual counseling. I am here to support your children and look forward to seeing how I can help them be successful this school year!
I have an emotional support "comfort" dog that comes to work with me a few times a week. His name is George Springer, named after one of our former beloved Astros players! George is cuddly, sweet, and provides a calmness that not only helps our students, but our staff members as well. He's a great addition to our counseling team!
We are looking forward to a wonderful school year with your children! Please reach out if you need any social-emotional support for your child. We are here to provide as much support as we can!
If you do NOT want your child to interact with George, then please contact me via email.
Together, We Make a Team!
School Counseling Services
Counselors are essential educators and mental health professionals in the school system. We are growing graduates by teaching educational, career, personal, and social development at all ages!
In Humble ISD, we believe in a personalized approach to counseling. Each elementary student will receive one individual meeting each year with their counselor. In these meetings, students will explore their goals and aspirations, and discuss the options for their personal path in Humble ISD. Additionally, counselors will be working with students and teachers in the classroom to provide additional avenues for student success. This partnership gives Humble ISD students a unique approach to meeting their personal goals, career pathways, and setting them up for success.
Optimistic Thinking
A child's attitude of confidence, hopefulness, and positive thinking regarding herself/himself and her/his life situations in the past, present, and future.
Optimistic Thinking Classroom Guidance
Student "I can" Statements:
Carry myself with confidence.
Say good things about myself.
Speak about positive things.
Look forward to classes or activities at school.
Say good things about my classmates.
Say good things about the future.
Express high expectations for myself.
The purpose of 1:1 individual meetings is to provide a more personalized counseling experience to students across the campus. These meetings provide a whole child approach to ensuring that students are identifying their own strengths, goals, and challenges, while also building connections at school, home, and within the community. The individual meeting allows counselors to personalize continued support as needed throughout the school year.
This quarter your school counselor will be meeting with 3rd and 4th grade students.
