Summary
Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Utah and Idaho, with experience supporting people through complex mental health and behavioral challenges in various environments like crisis care, detox, and outpatient therapy. Over the years, I’ve developed strong clinical judgment, solid documentation skills, and a flexible, person-centered approach. My work has ranged from individual therapy and group facilitation to helping clients navigate systems and connect with needed resources. I’m now hoping to transition into a care management role where I can continue using my clinical skills to support members in a more collaborative and proactive way.
