I began my social work journey in 2019 after graduating with my MSW and working in an urban setting, with a very select, dual diagnosed adult population, providing both individual and group therapy. From there, I traveled up river (as they say) and began working with high acuity young people and their families in a rural Oregon community.

Here my focus was on individual and family work. In both orgs, the variety of system overlap that my clients interacted with required considerable coordination and case management with third party partners such as primary care providers, school officials, DHS, and law enforcement.
