Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read about my professional background.
I graduated with my bachelor's in social work in 2013 from MacMurray College in Jacksonville IL.
I furthered my education at the University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign School of Social Work and graduated with my Masters in SW in 2017.
I have gained 13 years of experience with the majority of those years spent in psychiatric facilities for children and adults.
I specialize in motivational interviewing, DBT, CBT, and a multitude of other treatment styles.
I currently have over 16 years within the non-profit sector, private practice, residential substance abuse treatment facilities, and medical Social Work facilities. And over 10 years of experience as a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC). Throughout these roles, I have developed specialized skills in crisis intervention, non-violent Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI), care coordination, and de-escalation techniques for clients in active crisis, alongside with identifying solution-focused practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Trauma Reprocessing. My clinical experience includes delivering comprehensive care to clients managing chronic medical conditions, complex trauma, and acute substance use disorders.
