I have been with the People Incorporated School Linked Mental Health Program since January 2018. I work at Forest Elementary school providing therapy and support to K-5 students struggling with ADHD, autism, anxiety, emotional/ behavioral issues, school refusal, and depression. I also work with families to provide psychoeducation and support. Prior to this, I worked as a School Social Worker in the St. Paul Public School District. My experience in the school setting has provided me with a better understanding of the school system and knowledge of how to advocate for my clients to ensure their mental health needs are accommodated in the classroom. Believing that children learn, communicate, and develop skills best through play, I utilize this medium along with other therapeutic modalities during therapy sessions. I am constantly researching and keeping up to date with best practice interventions for children’s mental health.Hobbies
I enjoy exploring different parks, nature walks, crochet, reading, baking, and especially spending time with my family.Clinical Interests
