Students and Families:
I miss seeing all of you in person and hope that everyone is safe and healthy. It is my goal to continue to provide services to students during these changing times. As you can imagine, providing school counseling services and activities in a virtual setting present some challenges and limitations. At this time, the services I am providing are the following:
Student Check-Ins
Family Communication
Help Accessing Community Resources
During this time away from school, if you observe that your child is experiencing emotions that they do not usually feel, please encourage them to share with you, another trusted adult, or a sibling! Things are a bit different right now with everything going on, and it's important to let them know that whatever they are feeling is
okay.
On this webpage, I have added resources that can help with these conversations and information that I know will be beneficial to the family. These items will be constantly updated.
This is my second year as a school counselor, and I am so excited to be a part of the Benson family! In order to receive my degree for school counseling, I attended NC State University and did an internship at East Clayton Elementary. Last year, I worked at West Smithfield Elementary. As you can see, I am slowly learning my way around Johnston county.
I’m originally from Wilson, NC and am the oldest of four siblings (two brothers and two sisters). I also have a Yorkie named Milo. I also enjoy reading, watching movies, spending time with my family and friends, and travelling.
This year I will be offering short-term individual counseling, small group counseling, social emotional learning (SEL) classroom lessons, and consultation with parents and teachers. Examples of topics that could be covered in lessons and counseling sessions include: peer relationships, managing feelings, goal setting, and conflict resolution.
Students can ask their teachers or you, parents/guardians, to see me or put a note in the mailbox that's placed in the front office. Please feel free to contact me at any time during the year to discuss your child’s needs, if you have any questions or concerns, and/or need further resources.
In the meantime, check out my counselor website for resources!
