Counselors

Welcome Bearcats!  I am the 6^th (M-Z) & 7^th grade counselor at Aledo Middle School! I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been in counseling for 7 years.  I was in private practice before returning to the school setting.  I have a Bachelor of Science and a Masters in Education from Tarleton State University.  I am also trained in trauma therapy (EMDR). The middle school years are so pivotal, and I am passionate about helping students reach their full academic, social and emotional potential. My philosophy is student-centered, and solution focused.  I also believe in a comprehensive counseling program that addresses the academic, career and personal/social development of all students. I love being a counselor and I feel thankful to have the opportunity to work with families, students, and staff.  Please reach out if you need anything.

Welcome Back, Bearcats! I am so excited to be back at AMS for my second year as your 6^th (A-L) & 8^th grade counselor. I was born in Fort Worth, TX but lived in Japan and Arizona throughout my middle school and high school years. I recently taught 2nd grade and 4th grade before pivoting to middle school. If I am not at school, you can see me watching movies, reading a book, or hanging out with my dogs.

My goal here at AMS is to help students reach their fullest potential! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to this school year together!
