I am a licensed clinical social worker in Minnesota and Wisconsin. I have a background in criminal justice and has spent my career working with offender and high risk populations. I have several years of experience in an administrative and direct practice role and am currently serving as a treatment supervisor at Sand Ridge Secure Treatment Center in Mauston, Wisconsin where I oversee the development and delivery of a sexual offender treatment program for civilly committed adult males. I have been a trainer for clinical work throughout my career, most recently focusing on training Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) targeted at working with forensic patients that are often times labeled as resistant or difficult. I am also a Certified Trainer with the International Center for Clinical Excellence (ICCE) and have developed a passion for teaching treatment interventions and strategies that promote and operationalize the common factors of psychotherapy as well as striving for excellence.
