I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Clinical Supervisor in both Idaho and Oregon. I graduated from University of Idaho in 1998 with a Bachelor of Science in Sociology and Criminal Justice as well as Northwest Nazarene University in 2003 with a Master of Social Work. I believe life is not linear but cyclical with each experience healing or hindering our growth. Our past is a guide to our present and future. One of the things I enjoy most about my profession is its versatility. I have had the opportunities to work in inpatient and outpatient settings for mental health as well as alcohol and drug counseling, the legal system (probation), with the United States Military as a social worker, and in private practice. Currently, I am doing Clinical Supervision for master’s level social workers and counselors seeking to grow, get support and leadership, as well as obtain their advanced licensure.
Pursuing therapy can bring up a myriad of feelings as we are more than the reason’s we pursue therapy. These reasons are critical to helping people tap into their strengths and resilience for healing. Unconditional positive regard and absolute acceptance is the foundation for your journey to health. At the end of the day, with a positive relationship with your counselor and different types of counseling approaches, the opportunity for growth is limitless. It is an honor to be a part of your journey. Welcome to A Body and Mind Health Services!
