AS A LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER I BELIEVE IN INCLUSIVITY AND EQUALITY TO ALL AND ADVOCATE FOR ALL MY CLIENTS TO HAVE THIS EXPERIENCE IN THEIR LIVES. I GRADUATED WITH MY BACHELOR’S OF SOCIAL WORK (2009) AND MY MASTER’S OF SOCIAL WORK (2013) FROM KUTZTOWN UNIVERSITY AND WORKED IN THE CHILD WELFARE FIELD FOR MANY YEARS BEFORE TRANSITIONING FULL TIME AS A MENTAL HEALTH THERAPIST IN 2013. I FIND THAT MY EXPERIENCES IN THESE TWO SOCIAL WORK FIELDS HAS HELPED ME CREATE A COMPASSIONATE AND ACCEPTING THERAPEUTIC APPROACH WITH ALL MY CLIENTS.
I LOVE WORKING WITH PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE TO HELP EACH PERSON DEVELOP STRATEGIES TO CONQUER WHATEVER CHALLENGES THEY MAY FACE. I AM A TRAINED DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOR THERAPIST AND AN ADHD CERTIFIED CLINICAL SERVICES PROVIDER AND USE THESE SKILLS IN A BLENDED APPROACH WITH MY WORK WITH ADOLESCENTS, TRANSITIONAL AGE ADULTS, ADULTS AND OLDER ADULTS. I ENJOY HIKING, CAMPING, GARDENING, BEING ACTIVE AND SPENDING TIME WITH MY PARTNER AND OUR TWO ENGLISH SPRINGER SPANIELS.
