I’m a licensed clinical social worker with 8 years of professional experience and enjoy walking alongside others on their journey. I identity with many different intersections: I am a Christian, Native American, woman, mother, sister, daughter, military veteran, foster/adoptive parent, and survivor. I work extensively with secondary trauma and work-life integration by utilizing trauma-informed care and healing-centered engagement. It’s my pleasure to help others find their value and practice self-care. I also have experience in helping clients with grief and loss, depression, loneliness and isolation, and motivation. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
