With over 11 years of experience in the field of social work, I am passionate about providing effective and compassionate services to individuals and communities in need. As the Chief Government Relations Officer at Connections for the Homeless, I work with a diverse team of professionals and stakeholders to influence community action, secure funding, and raise awareness on the issues and solutions related to homelessness. As the Founder and Psychotherapist at Midwest Healing & Clarity, I provide individual and group therapy to clients with various mental health challenges, such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. I also mentor and supervise other social workers and therapists in the region. In addition, I have multiple licenses in different states to practice clinical social work. I am committed to advancing social justice, equity, and inclusion in my work and in my field. I am always eager to collaborate with others all while trying to make a difference in the world.
