Mental Health Supports
"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, having earned a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of North Dakota. I have been working with youth and their families for over 10 years in a variety of settings including middle and high schools, private practice, residential treatment facilities, and detention centers. In addition, I have worked abroad with youth in Brazil and Costa Rica. I have a private practice in Boulder, Colorado, give trainings and presentations to students, staff of school districts, and parents, and host a podcast for parents of adolescents called “Perspective for Parents.” My past professional experience includes working for the St. Vrain Valley School District as a Mental Health Interventionist, and serving as lead parent facilitator for iTHRIVE, an early substance abuse intervention program for teens and their parents. I am passionate about assisting youth and their families realizing adolescence is a time of great opportunity and not just a phase to survive."

We believe that many strengths are more powerful than one, and our united goal is to activate and mobilize these strengths in ways that positively change individuals and communities."
