About

I have been a social worker since 2006. I spent many years working as a children's service coordinator and as a case manager for adults and children with mental health concerns. I achieved my Masters in Social Work in 2013 and my clinical license in 2019. I have an eclectic style of therapy that is informed by multiple theories including Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the Boston Liberation Health Model. My training and experience remind me that we exist as people in environments and that people aren't problems. 

I enjoy being outdoors, sewing, and listening to music. I also enjoy reading. My favorite fiction authors include Carol Berg and Terry Pratchett. My current primary research project is a descriptive study of the social work workforce in Idaho with a specific eye on markers of wellbeing. I also have a research interest in the intersections of linguistics, folklore and the practice of therapy.
