Hi, I'm Rachon!
(she/her/hers)
School Counselor
My goal as your school counselor is to create and implement a comprehensive school counseling program that aims to proactively address the academic, career, and personal/social needs of every student. As an academic team member, my intention is to create a caring, safe, and supportive environment where every student can thrive. My passion is to engage all students, families, and the community to cultivate a collaborative learning environment. I am grateful for the opportunity to empower students to exceed their potentials. Through the counseling website, you can find out more about our school counseling initiatives, related services, and community resources.
Hi, I'm Emma!
(she/her/hers)
School Social Worker
I have worked in the mental health field for 8 years and have found my passion working in the school setting to support teens with complex trauma, mood dysregulation, and other life stressors. My motivation is to advocate for my students while building a relationship based on trust. I'm trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and prioritize a strengths-based, trauma-informed lens in my work with students. I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona and, thus, love the sun and outdoors. Outside of Walden, you can find me hiking, spending time with loved ones, or inside with a good book or Netflix show.
