Mr. Paul Koene, Counselor
(Students: last names A-Co) Email: [email protected] phone: (707) 778-4690 FAX: 778-4705
Mr. Koene (pronounced KOO-nee) has been a school counselor at Casa since 2008. Mr. Koene has an extensive background in all levels of the bar and restaurant business and spent 8 years running the operations of a retail and corporate barter exchange in San Francisco. He began volunteering for Men Overcoming Violence in 1999 which lead to a job teaching violence prevention to youth in San Francisco as well as working as a group facilitator and intake coordinator for the MOVE batterer intervention program. Around that time he felt the pull to move north and raise a family, which lead him to seek out a new career as a school counselor. After graduating from the excellent graduate program at Sonoma State with a Masters in Counseling, Mr. Koene’s first counseling job was as the head counselor at Davidson Middle School in San Rafael. But commuting to San Rafael from Petaluma every day is no bueno, so Mr. Koene jumped at the chance to work at Casa where he has found the best job ever!
