School Social Worker!
About Me
I earned my Bachelor in Social Work from Brigham Young University and my Masters in Social Work from Walla Walla University. I am licensed as an Independent Clinical Social Worker and am credentialed as a Child Mental Health Specialist and Mental Health Professional. This is my 3rd year working in the role of School Social Worker. Prior to working in schools, I worked in children's community mental health. I have experience providing mental health services, connecting families to services/resources in the community and enjoy facilitating groups. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family. I'm married and have a stepdaughter in high school and 4 kids in Elementary. We enjoy the outdoors, being active, and also our down time at home. I'm excited to continue supporting kids and families at Lewis & Clark this year!
