Clinical Social Worker Candidate
I am a Clinical Social Worker Canidate with more than two years of experience working with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and more. I use a client centered and strengths-based approaches to come along side my clients and help provide them with support, knowledge, and tools to reach their goals. My husband and I enjoy the outdoors and traveling. We are looking forward to welcoming our second child this fall; we currently enjoy being proud parents to a sweet little girl and three cuddly cats. It has been my lifelong aspiration and achievement to work in fields where I help others heal and grow. First, I was an emergency medical professional in the Army and then worked with the elderly, specializing in caring for those with Alzheimer's and dementia, to help enable them to live comfortably in assisted living, while all the time working through college toward my ultimate goal of becoming a counselor and being able to support people long term through mental health.
