- deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
The purpose of GLE's school counseling program is to assure that ALL students acquire and demonstrate competencies in academic, career, and social/emotional development as they learn to live happy and healthy lives in an ever-changing world.

What is a School Counselor?
School counselors work with all students, school staff, families, and members of the community as an integral part of the education program.

What do Counselors do?
- Provide direct counseling services to students individually and in support groups.
- Provide education and supportive services to parents.
- Provide consultation services to teachers.
- Facilitate referrals to community and support services.
- Advise students on academic planning and scholarship opportunities.
- Provide career guidance to students.
- Network with post-secondary institutions.
As GLE's school counselor, I am committed to delivering a comprehensive school counseling program to ALL students at GLE. I hold a Rank I in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Master's degree in School Counseling and a Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences/Secondary Education from Northern Kentucky University. I am proud to be a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and a member of the American School Counseling Association (ASCA).
