I practice social work and provide case management services to children and families involved with the child protection system in Becker County. I work predominantly with families with young children. I work with birth families to address safety and well-being of children and provide referral for services and service assessment to achieve family stabilization and safety. Part of my practice also includes locating and assessing appropriate relatives or non-relatives for placement of children in foster care or for the purposes of permanent placement.
