Work History
I have been working as a Mental Health Therapist at Be Well Therapy Group of Idaho in Coeur d'Alene since March 2023. In this role, I provide therapeutic services to individuals and families, focusing on enhancing mental well-being through evidence-based practices. Before going into private practice at Be Well, I served as a Mental Health Therapist at Ambitions of Idaho, also in Coeur d’Alene, from August 2019 to June 2023. My responsibilities included conducting assessments, developing treatment plans, and offering counseling services to clients with diverse mental health needs. In addition to my professional work, I've been deeply involved in volunteer activities. I served on the Board of Directors for North Idaho CASA from Fall 2020 to Spring 2024, where I held positions as President and Secretary. During my tenure, I contributed to the organization's mission of advocating for children in the foster care system by presiding over board meetings, creating meeting agendas, supervising all business affairs of the board, and acting as the primary contact for the group. Prior to this, I was a Court Appointed Special Advocate for North Idaho CASA from Fall 2017 to Fall 2020. In this role, I worked directly with children in the court system, advocating for their best interests and ensuring they received the necessary support and services. My professional and volunteer experiences have provided me with a well-rounded perspective on mental health and a deep commitment to supporting individuals and communities in need.
