I am the school counselor at Hernewood Intermediate School. I have the joy of working with students through classroom guidance lessons, small group counselling, and individual counselling. I collaborate regularly with teachers, educational assistants, administration, Student Well Being Team and external service providers to best meet the diverse needs of our students.

Classroom Guidance |
Small Group Counselling |
I visit classrooms throughout the school year and have the chance to interact with students during these lessons. Lessons typically last 20-60 minutes in length and cover topics could cover- understanding feelings of self and others, emotion regulation, problem solving skills, conflict resolution, friendship skills, empathy, study skills and planning for High School.

A variety of small groups are offered to students who may benefit from spending some extra time developing academic, social, or emotional skills along with their peers, and to students who are coping with similar life situations. Groups can have anywhere from 3-12 members and usually meet once a week during class or lunch for several weeks.Sometimes I run these groups on my own, others joined by a Youth Service Worker, Mental Health Nurse or Mental Health Therapist.
