My mental health career journey started in 2016 working as a behavioral support staff in a partial hospital program. I then transitioned into the role of a of a behavioral health worker, managing high risk behavior clients and implementing positive behavior support. After finding my passion working with children in the mental health field, I returned to school and completed my MSW through Penn West University. Following my completion of my MSW, I went on to receive my LSW. I continue to develop in my career as a mental health therapist and have experience as a TCI trainer and Ukeru trainer. I have experience working with acute partial hospital, partial hospital, and outpatient clientele ranging from ages 5 and up. My specialty is working with children diagnosed with ASD, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma and stressor related disorders, and anxiety disorders. I believe in using a strengths-based approach to support clients in achieving their treatment goals and building confidence within themselves. My therapy style includes a mixture of play therapy, CBT, sensory based activities, and DBT used in creative ways to keep clients engaged and having fun while building their knowledge of healthy emotion regulations skills, self-awareness, and positive communication skills. My goal is to make all my clients feel safe, accepted, respected, and understood.
