I hold a Master's Degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of St. Thomas and St. Catherine University, which has provided me with a strong foundation for my practice. Through my education, I gained a deep understanding of social work theories, human behavior, and therapeutic interventions, which I integrate into my work. I am currently completing my Doctorate in Social Work through University of St. Thomas.

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) through the Minnesota Board of Social Work. I am privileged to hold board approval to provide clinical licensure supervision for both Licensed Graduate Social Workers (LGSW) and Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC/LPCC). My experience in the field allows me to offer valuable guidance and support as you navigate the path to full licensure. I am passionate about helping emerging professionals develop their clinical skills, ethical decision-making, and professional identity.

My professional experience has been largely dedicated to working with young children, adolescents, and their families. This specialization has given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges and strengths within this population. I am particularly interested in helping children and families who have experienced trauma, and I have extensive experience working with issues such as anxiety, depression, attachment difficulties, and behavioral problems.

My supervision style is integrative, meaning I draw from various techniques and approaches to tailor my support to your individual needs. I believe that supervision should be a collaborative process that fosters growth and development. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where supervisees feel comfortable exploring their clinical work, personal experiences, and professional goals. I am committed to providing feedback that is both constructive and encouraging, and I am passionate about helping supervisees reach their full potential as social workers.

I'm deeply motivated and excited to give back to the social work field by providing supervision to both Bachelor and Master’s level licensed social workers. Having been shaped by the support and guidance I’ve received throughout my own career, I’m passionate about creating a nurturing and growth-focused space where others can thrive. I look forward to helping individuals navigate the complexities of the profession while honing their skills, ethics, and self-awareness. It’s incredibly rewarding to be a part of others' professional journey, supporting their development as competent, confident, and compassionate social workers who can make a real difference in the lives of those they serve.

My experience includes providing case management services, offering school-based therapy, supervising mental health practitioners within a school setting and supporting school social workers. I have developed strong skills in supporting students' emotional and psychological well-being while ensuring effective collaboration among additional service providers. Evidence-based practices I often utilize include Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT and Somatic Interventions.

My supervisory approach is grounded in a holistic view of my supervisees, integrating multiple therapeutic approaches to support their growth and development. I prioritize intentionality in creating an empowering and safe space where they feel valued, supported, and equipped to thrive in their professional journey.
