I firmly hold the belief that all students deserve to have a trusted adult in their lives that they can count on unconditionally, and this guides my practice as a school counselor. It is a privilege to serve our students and school counselors hold such a unique position in the manner in which we can do so. The American School Counselor Association’s School Counselor Professional Standards & Competencies states “School counselors believe every student can learn, and every student can succeed”. This is a mindset that I stand behind and believe wholeheartedly. Within the domains of social-emotional learning, academics, and career readiness we are able to support all students in their ability to succeed.

School counselors believe every student can learn, and every student can succeed.
