From a young age, I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. Every chapter of my journey has deepened my understanding of service, advocacy, and leadership.
After graduating from the University of Wyoming with a Bachelor of Arts in both Psychology and Criminal Justice, I had the opportunity to work for Senator Thomas, serving the people of Wyoming. I then traveled to the Kingdom of Tonga as a Peace Corps Volunteer, where I found that the act of giving was just as rewarding as receiving. For over a decade, I worked with victims of crime, guiding them through the post-conviction process. Bearing witness to their resilience and strength was both humbling and inspiring.
I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of North Dakota, which allowed me to step into the role of a Clinical Therapist at SCC. My specialty areas include trauma, attachment disruptions, anxiety, relationship and family distress, and self-esteem issues, while incorporating EMDR, TraumaPlay, TheraPlay, PolyVagal, and strengths-based modalities. I enjoy working with clients of all ages assisting them on their journey to healing and growth.
Now, as CEO of SCC, I have the privilege of not only continuing my work as a therapist but also leading an organization dedicated to making a meaningful impact in the lives of both our clients and staff. My goal is to cultivate a supportive, enriching environment where our team can thrive, ensuring the highest quality care for those we serve.
Outside of work, I am married and have four wonderful children who keep me incredibly busy. When we are not watching or playing sports, you can find us in a friendly competition of some sort to keep things entertaining and interesting. We draw strength from God and one another, and I hope to help others uncover their own strengths to navigate whatever challenges they may be facing.
