MEET MS. ANNA


Students can meet with Ms. Anna, our School Counselor, through self-referral, teacher referral or parent request.


She can be reached via email.


Keeping It Kind


Ms. Anna’s theme for the year is “Keeping it Kind”. She will be holding kindness-based workshops in classrooms, creating lunch bunches for students to make new friends and will be working to create community-based change centered around being kind to peers and practicing self-compassion.


Education & Professional Experience

Ms. Borrelli earned her Master’s of Social Work degree with a clinical specialization from Virginia Commonwealth University. During her time in the Master’s program, she knew she had a passion for working with children and had the opportunity to intern at Saint Mary’s.


Following the completion of her degree, Ms. Anna began working as an Intensive In-Home counselor. Within this role, she worked with children between the ages of 5-17 who experienced behavioral challenges and emotional processing difficulties.


Ms. Anna returned to Saint Mary’s in September 2022 and we are thrilled to have her as a member of our faculty and staff!


Focus Areas

Ms. Anna does individual work with students, group work with peers, and community work within classrooms and grade levels including:


  • Individual check-ins with students
  • Group work with peers when similar challenges arise
  • Classroom or grade level topic discussions
  • Providing resources to families for additional support outside of school


She is also experienced in hosting workshops for parents to share strategies for supporting their child’s mental health.
