I am an Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota. I have over 6 years of professional work experience. I have been blessed to work with many different populations. My background includes working with people in need of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy( CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy( DBT), Chemical Dependency, and addressing the need of "adult students" as they navigate working through the challenges of post education.
I am certified as a " Youth Suicide Preventionalist" by the American Association of Suicidology.
In my spare time, I work on curriculum for Youth Suicide Prevention( ages 10-24). I administer trainings with parents, mental health professionals, teachers, and students.
It is my belief that each person has the strengths to assist them in overcoming their challenges, they just need help and guidance to find the tools needed to succeed.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
Additional areas of focus: Communication problems, Guilt and shame, Impulsivity, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Social anxiety and phobia
