I completed my undergraduate degree in Anthropology at Texas State University in 2014, with an internship at Audie Murphey Veterans Memorial Hospital at The Veterans Evidence-based Research, Dissemination, and Implementation Center. I earned my graduate degree in Social Work from Widener University with a trauma certification in 2022, completing an internship at New Braunfels Angels and Hope Hospice. I received my LMSW in January of 2022.
My experiences include working in elementary schools in Essential Academics and Special Education for seven years and participating in grief camps hosted by the Bereavement Center at Hope Hospice, including Family Night, Family Camp, and Youth Camp. My most recent employment has allowed me to work with families, children, and youth experiencing foster care while working as a case manager at New Braunfels Angels. Through this work, I have completed training for youth and adult Mental Health First Aid, Safe Spaces, and Language Matters and earned over 16 hours of Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) training.
I work within a trauma-informed lens and often use Narrative Therapy, Person-in-Environment Theory, and Family Systems Theory. I believe in empowering my clients while ensuring felt safety, regardless of their age or background. I believe in continued cultural curiosity and being a lifetime learner.
I am married with two children, two fur babies, and two fur grandbabies. I enjoy yoga, meditating, reading, crocheting, and watching football. After living in WA state for three years, I dream of moving back to enjoy the beautiful forests and rainy weather.
