Welcome Bearcats!  I am the 6^th grade counselor at Aledo Middle School! I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been in counseling for 6 years.  I was in private practice before returning to the school setting recently.  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.

I am excited to be the 7th grade counselor at Aledo Middle School! I graduated Texas Christian University with my Bachelor’s in Education and Spanish. I was a high school Spanish teacher for six years before becoming a school counselor. I received my Master’s in School Counseling from Texas A&M University.

I was born and raised in Colorado but came to Texas as soon as I could and fell in love with this wonderful state. If I am not at school, you can find me cheering on the Horned Frogs, hiking or at the movies.  

I look forward to working with your students this year.

Welcome Back, Bearcats! I am so excited to be the new addition to AMS as your 8th-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!
