Hello! This is my first year as the school psychologist at C.S. Porter Middle School and my fourth year at MCPS. I am certified in the states of New York and Montana and hold a national certification in school psychology (NCSP). 

Why Do Children Need School Psychologists? 

"All children can face problems from time to time related to learning; social relationships; making difficult decisions; or managing emotions such as feeling depressed, anxious, worried, or isolated. School psychologists help students, families, educators, and members of the community understand and resolve both long-term, chronic problems and short-term issues that students may face. They are a highly skilled and ready resource in the effort to ensure that all children and youth thrive in school, home, and in life." (nasponline.org)
