About me

I moved from Minnesota in 2014 to Austin, Tx and then to Dripping Springs the following year. I am happy to be apart of a growing community. My husband and I have 3 children and a dog. In my spare time I like to be outdoors, play volleyball, craft, and read. I think wellness is a journey and I continue to strive for balance in my personal and professional life. My work is also my philosophy in life. Care for yourself so that you may be in a place to care for others.

I am licensed to practice clinical social work in Minnesota (#16592), North Dakota (#5798), and Texas (#60361 - supervisor designation). I practice telehealth in the summer months as I travel up north to escape the heat and do in person and telehealth the rest of the year. I am also a full time lecturer at Texas State University in the School of Social Work.

I am a brainspotting practitioner. This is a processing intervention that works with your brain and body together. I have seen this specific intervention work well at opening doors for great personal and professional growth in the people I work with and continue to learn more about the neurobiological aspects of wellness.

I am a clinical supervisor for those seeking to take the clinical exam in social work. My philosophy of supervision is one where reflective practices drive the learning process while grounded in evidence within our field. I work with supervisees to not only look at their practice but strive to be the best clinical social worker they can. This often includes reviewing theoretical basis for interventions, case studies, and a development of a the supervisees practice philosophy with an emphasis in cultural competence.
