Twin Cities - Metro

I currently serve as the Youth Services Program Manager at EVOLVE Family Services. I was drawn to EVOLVE because of its strong commitment to child-centered, anti-oppressive, and anti-racist practices. These principles are at the heart of why I do this work. I am committed to ongoing learning and growth and continuously look for ways to deepen my understanding and strengthen these practices in both my leadership and direct work with youth, families, and community partners.

I greatly enjoy my current role working as a mental health professional. I practice in the outpatient setting both in person and virtually. I work with children, youth, and families with a variety of diagnoses. I have the most experience working with individuals impacted by trauma, and I am trained in EMDR. I have experience professionally working with individuals and families who have experienced adoption and foster care, and I also have personal connections to adoption as my sister is an adult adoptee.
