I am a Licensed Master of Social Worker (LMSW), currently under supervision of Bridget Dixon, LSCSW (Monarch Play Therapy), pursuing clinical licensure. I received my Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work from Washburn University. Currently, I attend MidAmerica Nazarene University, working toward a certification in play therapy. I have worked in various public service contexts, including special education, community mental health, and early childhood mental health. While working as a school social worker, I provided social emotional intervention services, service coordination and program support. I have experience working with individuals in a multitude of areas including trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship concerns, and other life stressors. I utilize cognitive behavioral, strengths based and play based approaches when working with children.
I am passionate about building healthy relationships with children struggling with emotional or behavioral concerns, and their families, to help build resilience, community, and support systems
