About Me:

Hello Lind Ritzville Middle School students and parents!  I have been a school counselor for the past eight years since receiving my master's degree from Whitworth University.  I am a passionate advocate to help you navigate your ever-changing world by meeting with you one on one, in groups and in classrooms. I am married to Roger, and have a beautiful college-aged daughter, Sophie.  I love the outdoors, especially hiking, fishing and biking.  I also have a side gig of creating metal sculptures from our recycled metal on our ranch.  Know that you are important to me and always matter.

Counseling Information:

My job is to advocate (help) for you.  Middle school is such a crazy time characterized by rapid physical growth, curiosity about the world and figuring out who you are (self-identity). I will journey with you as you navigate your academic (school work), career questions and thoughts, as well as social and emotional needs.  My door is always open.  Know that you are cared for deeply by me.
