PHILOSOPHY:
     To be available and accessible to receive student's, to advocate for them and to meet their needs with care and compassion.  To maximize student/counselor interactions by seeing student's who sign up for assistance, by responding to parent,teacher and administration requests for intervention and to seek out student's, in an effort provide them with a safe forum to address academic, social, emotional and/or personal concerns.

GENERAL INFORMATION:
     The Tri-North Counseling Office has an open door policy, ready to receive student's as they need services.  Student's can sign up to see a Counselor in the Counseling Office and in most cases are seen the same day they sign in.  If a student feels it is an emergency, they should indicate that on the sign in  sheet or tell a Counselor.  Most often what a student shares with a Counselor is confidential, however there are some exceptions.
     Parents and Guardians, please do not hesitate to communicate your concerns or questions to your adolescent's Counselor by phone or e-mail.  You will receive a response as quickly as possible.  Please continue to stay involved in your adolescent's academic, social and emotional life.  You know your adolescent best, I am here to provide support, guidance and assistance as needed.

PERSONAL INFORMATION:
     I have been a Counselor at Tri-North since August 1994.  This year I changed my full-time status to part time so I could pursue developing a private practice.  I have a B.S. degree in Health Promotion & Wellness from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point - 1988 and a M.S. degree in Counseling from Indiana University-Bloomington - 1992.  I am also a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Indiana.
     I am married to Steve Snyder and have two grown children, Elizabeth and Ed, two step children Marnie and Collin, and two grandchildren Merric and Gaia.
     When I'm not working, I can be found running, taking pictures, gardening, camping, traveling, reading, playing with my dogs Sarge & Sadie or creating something in my kitchen..
