I am a practicing Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20+ years of professional experience across a variety of treatment settings including individual counseling, crisis intervention, medical social work, and both inpatient and outpatient programs, I’m certified in alcohol and drug abuse treatment. I have taught several courses at the University of Utah in the college of social work, where I spent 10+ years working in Higher Education, providing, individual, couples, and group counseling, as well as supervision to interns and professionals.
I believe in a person-centered approach and meeting you where you are. I provide a non-judgmental, patient, supportive, and mutually respectful environment where the priority is to provide a welcoming space where each individual can focus on goals, wellness, and address unexpected life stressors.
During my spare time, I can be found goofing off and exploring both near and far places with family and pets. I’m open to learning and new challenges
