I have experience with a variety of children and adolescents with special needs. Currently I am a social work intern. I manage a small caseload of individuals with developmental disabilities and provide individual face to face counseling. I also work a couple of mornings a week at the early intervention preschool for toddlers with a variety of developmental disabilities including but not limited too: autism, Down syndrome and cerebral palsy. Previously I worked in residential treatment for teens with mental health and trauma. There I was trained in CBT, DBT, Trauma Informed Care and Non-Violent Crisis Intervention. I also worked in a residential setting for adults with developmental disabilities and was medication distribution trained as well as Oregon Intervention Systems certified. Working in residential treatment developed my passion for working with people and especially children and families. I am currently enrolled as a graduate student at Syracuse University in the Master of Social work program so that I can become better equipped to work with individuals, families and groups.
