I came to the field of clinical social work while working as a sign language interpreter when a colleague, who was a clinical social worker, recommended I pursue this field as my next career - and it turned out to be a natural fit! Over the past 14 years I have worked as a case manager for early childhood intervention and families of children with special needs, as a director of support services at a long term/rehabilitation center, and as a clinician, both locally and internally, I have worked in community mental health, crisis walk-in, hospital discharge-intake, residential trauma treatment, and specialty clinics. These different roles and opportunities have helped me understand that clients will come to see me with a diverse range of needs that require me to be culturally competent and skilled in many interventions, so that I can create a safe space for healing. I am trained and experienced in evidence based (researched and shown to be effective), trauma informed (precautions are taken to promote emotionally and physical safety as much as possible and at all times), client-centered (empathetic, nonjudgmental, and client led), strengths-based (building off the strengths you already have), cognitive (what you think, feel, and believe), behavioral (what you do), talk (verbal processing), somatic (what we feel in our bodies), relational (how we relate to ourselves and others), movement (to move through and manage unspoken dysregulation), mindfulness (finding internal peace and acting with intention), and solution-focused (goal driven towards outcomes you can measure) therapies. I have also completed level II of the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy and am an approved EMDR practitioner by EMDRIA.
