About My Clients
I have worked in the mental health field in some capacity for the last 20 years. I have held experiences in the non profit world, suicide prevention/intervention/postvention, crisis intervention, in private practice, school settings and emergency department. I have experience with school aged populations, parents, those who struggle with anxiety and depression, veterans, survivors of suicide loss and those who struggle with suicidal ideation and self-harming behaviors.
My Background and Approach
As a licensed clinical social worker with years of experience within the field of suicide prevention, postvention (after a suicide occurs), grief, crisis, stress management & trauma you can expect to feel supported while reaching your goals of wellness. I work with clients where they are at in a collaborative and safe manner. I want to bring out the best in you and at your own pace because I want my clients to feel supported, reach their goals and improve overall mental wellbeing. I will be your biggest cheerleader and approach practice in a judgement free zone using my education, training and experiences as a guide. If being in an office or virtually is not your thing, I can support sessions at local parks or at a barn utilizing equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP). EAP uses horses within the therapeutic experience.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Mental illness and life struggles do not equate a death sentence but I recognize just having the conversation about it can be extremely uncomfortable. I’m a firm believer mental health is just like physical health. It can deteriorate, ache, and cause challenges in the same way physical health can. It can happen by accident, situationally, or biologically. I want my clients to give themselves the chance to heal and take care of one of the most important organs in your body, your mind. I got into the therapy business because of my own personal traumas and life experiences and always wanted to help meet people where they are at and help them feel empowered to change their circumstances.
