I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Human Services from Upper Iowa University on Fort Riley, KS and my Master of Social Work degree with a certificate in Victim and Survivor Services from Washburn University in Topeka, KS.  

​

Over my career I have worked with soldiers, children, adolescents, families, foster parents and young adults. My passion for helping those in needs started when I was first introduced to psychology my sophomore year of high school. I knew then that I was going to be a therapist.  

​

My passion for the field of social work expanded over the years, as I gained experience and confidence in my role. I am a helper at heart and started to broaden the joy of helping through volunteer work and training others in the field. 

 

I hold two state licenses. A Licensed Independent Social Worker Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) Supervisor for South Carolina and a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) for Kansas. I am also an ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP).

 

I have over 12 years of experience working in the field. I truly believe knowledge is power and advance my own knowledge through various books, articles, trainings and podcast. 

 

Last but not least, I enjoy traveling. You will find some of my personal photos of places we have traveled to throughout my website.
