Professional Background
LicensureOregon, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, L10558
Work HistoryI started my career off working in Child Abuse. I was a forensic interviewer at a Child Abuse Intervention Center in Oregon. I was also a CPS worker with Child Welfare and a forensic photographer with the Sheriff's Dept. This line of work became extremely difficult for me because I didn't feel I was able to connect with my clients in the way that I wanted to be helpful to them. I then went into Mental Health Crisis work, responding to calls where people were showing symptoms of psychosis or having thoughts of suicide. Although this was a good transition for me into mental health therapy, I still felt that I was not helping people in a way that made me feel good about the work I was doing. Now I am a full time mental health therapist, I enjoy getting to know people on a deeper level and helping you through your journey.
