About

I am dedicated and passionate about psychological therapy and the powerful changes it can bring to people’s lives. It is a major piece of the puzzle when it comes to healing. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I feel my schooling is unique in the aspect that my training and education really focus on assessing an individual as a whole as well as their environment. I feel this is important in order to aid in reaching the treatment goals set. I have been in the mental health field since 2005. I worked in a residential facility with young women who struggled with bipolar, borderline, eating issues, adoptions, issues, and addiction. I have also had the pleasure of working with a women's shelter for years, supporting women, men, and children in vulnerable times. This included children who experienced extensive sexual abuse. I trained with The Daring Way™for a year and worked with an addiction high school and another area Women's home utilizing the curriculum Berne Brown developed. Additional experience was gained while working as a therapist in a Psychiatric hospital working on the adult and children's units, most of my experience here was with individuals with psychosis, Schizophrenia, bipolar with manic episodes, and major depressive disorder.
