I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the state of Minnesota and have been working in the mental health field since 2021. I received my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Superior with a major in Social Work. I graduated with my Master’s degree from the College of St. Scholastica in Social Work in 2021. I have experience working with children, families, teenagers, and adults.
In the past, I have worked in a variety of settings. From serving veterans and their family members in a support center, working with high risk teenagers in an intensive residential youth program, or in general community mental health, I strive to meet any individual where they are at. I have a history of mindfulness based research and how these skills can be used and adapted to any individual. In session I work to bring an empathetic approach with a open ear to each conversation.
In our diagnostic intake session, we will work to identify things you wish to address in therapy, symptoms that are presenting that have been impacting current life, and take time to get to know one another. I strive to gain comfortability for individuals in our first session and paint a clear picture for directions we will take therapy in.
