Welcome to Belville. I am one of your School Counselors and am so looking forward to meeting and working with each and every student and family to the best of my ability. I am here to assist all of the students at Belville Elementary. My role as a School Counselor will be to assist students in need of having someone to talk to and provide some guidance in helping them maneuver their way through their elementary years. 

In the Counseling department, Mrs. Young and I are teaching foundational skills for the Sharks through classroom lessons, group lessons and individual counseling. Our goal is to provide the support needed for our students, their families, our staff, as well as our community. Abiding by the American School Counseling Association roles and ethical standards, we will do our best to assist every individual student with prompt attention and assistance.

Here are some valuable websites to learn further about my role as a School Counselor, as well as some awareness tips and educational support to look over.
