Welcome to the Counselor Clubhouse!

school counseling activities for elementary students helping children build confidence and emotional awareness

To all who come to this happy place, welcome

Step into the Counselor Clubhouse, where the magic of school counseling meets the wonder of Disney! As a passionate school counselor and Disney enthusiast, I’m thrilled to blend the two to create engaging and meaningful ways to support our students. After all, “the flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all”—and with the right guidance, every student can flourish!

✨ But wait—there’s more! ✨ Every educator deserves a little extra pixie dust, and I’m here to help make that happen! As a travel agent with Mickey World Travel, I specialize in planning magical Disney vacations—whether it’s theme parks, cruises, or Adventures by Disney. My services are completely FREE!

Discover Disney Magic with Counselor Clubhouse

Welcome to the Counselor Clubhouse! Be my Guest at what I hope will be a place where you can get creative ideas, learn more about Disney, and be inspired to be the best Disney Educator you can be! As a school counselor for over 25 years and a Disney-obsessed fan since forever ago I have worked hard to incorporate Disney into my practice whenever possible. My favorite Disney character is the Fairy Godmother. I love that she can take her magic wand and make dreams come true
