Summary
Dedicated case manager at CSP specializing in working with individuals living with chronic and persistent mental illness. I am experienced in therapy, providing individual therapy sessions at the Eau Claire County Outpatient Clinic and leading AODA treatment court Matrix Model Groups and Moral Reconation Therapy groups. Successfully worked with CSP clients on individual therapy, demonstrating expertise in diagnoses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and personality disorders. Prior to becoming a licensed social worker, I worked as a court advocate for the State of Wisconsin Public Defender for 10 years. That experience has shaped me professionally as a creative and analytic thinker as well as a strong advocate for client's rights.
