I am a 2021 graduate of the Clinical Social Work Program at Augsburg College. I hold my Graduate Social Work License (LGSW) with the state of Minnesota. Over the past decades, I have worked as a social worker in the Minnesota across various settings from Community Social Services Agencies, Hospitals, Medical Clinics, Community Mental Health Clinics, and my own Private Practice. Currently, I am happy to be apart of the People Incorporated School Based Mental Health Team. My practice focuses on developing relationships and creating a warm and welcoming space for all who are seeking support. My professional career has included working with elementary aged students from various identities, cultures, and origins. Coming from an intersectional, client-centered approach, I enjoy working within a trauma-informed, harm-reduction, and attachment-based lens. My practice holds influence from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and elements of CBT and DBT practices. My therapeutic style includes an eclectic approach that works to adjust and evolve with your needs and focus. If you are unsure what the above approaches and therapeutic practices mean? Don’t worry, we can work together to identify and define what is needed for you and your students wellness goals.Hobbies
I am a cis-male, married/partnered, parent, and queer-identified provider who, outside of work, enjoys reading comic books, playing TTRPG (table-top role-playing games), winning and losing various board games, and biking around the metro area.Clinical Interests
