MENTAL HEALTH COORDINATOR

After finishing my university degree, I struggled to find a place to land on a career. Ten years ago, I took a shot on a direct support worker position and found my purpose. Over this time, I have developed a passion for helping people find ways to manage their mental health and reach the goals they set for themselves. I specialize in meeting the individual on their terms, building a relationship and working alongside them to find meaningful progress. When not working, I like to explore creative outlets related to writing, reading books, gaming with my family and cooking all manner of dishes. Currently, my work at ODC has inspired me to pursue a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling degree, which has been an incredible journey so far.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Viterbo University in La Crosse and have experience working with children, adults and families. I emphasize a casual and friendly approach to services, using language and examples than everyone can understand. I believe that humor, gratitude and empathy are key to improving our own mental health and relationships with others. I rely on my experiences in my personal and professional life to meet people where they are at and help them move forward. In my free time, I enjoy arts and crafts, outdoor activities and spending time with my family.

I have worked with individuals and families in the central Wisconsin area since 2018. I received my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Wisconsin-Stout and strive to continue learning about emergent therapies to provide the best services possible for my clients. I do not believe in a “one-size fits all” approach and instead integrate Family-Focused Therapy, Couples Therapy and Solution-Focused therapy into my clinical work. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends along with engaging in craft activities such as crocheting, cross-stitching and painting.

I began my career in mental health through years of working at various non-profits such as the YMCA and United Way Fox Cities before moving to Central Wisconsin and starting with ODC. I discovered a shared passion within our team that has led me to return to school for further credits to become eligible for state licensure in counseling through Lakeland University’s Clinical Counseling Program. My approach to therapy is driven by the client and emphasizes building client-confidence and resiliency. I am continuing to grow in the areas of trauma-informed care, anxiety, grief and post-traumatic care. Outside of work, you can find me relaxing with my family and pet dogs.

I received my Bachelors Degree in Psychology with a Human Services Concentration from the University of WI Stevens Point. I am currently working toward my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology at the University of Marquette. I began my mental health career with several intern placements as well as becoming a behavioral therapist, working with individuals who have autism. My approach to helping individuals with mental health struggles is both laid-back and thorough. I focus on utilizing the uniqueness of each client and the strengths within them to help them grow. I believe every individual deserves the same level of respect, support, and compassion to be successful.

When I first started wondering what I would do for a career, I simply had no idea whatsoever; so I followed my brother to the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and found myself taking psychology courses, and loving them. Since graduation, I have worked with individuals of all ages in the psychology field as Relief Staff, a Community Care Technician, a Mental Health Technician and a Mental Health Coordinator. These positions have allowed me to expand my perspective of the world and to redefine what it means to be “normal.” I spend every day being a partner in finding healthy ways for individuals to be in control of their own lives, as well as being a listening ear when life gets difficult. Outside of work, I enjoy painting, playing sports and playing with my dog to help me unwind and reset. I do my best to practice what I preach and take time throughout my days to check in with myself and make sure I am being the best me for my own sake as well as for the community I serve, and for the people that I love.

I studied Psychology and Human Services at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. I have three years of experience in the mental health field, prior to joining ODC's Mental Health team. While my area of interest for future studies reside in Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA) and addiction counseling, I find my talents lie in working with youth. My approach to mental health is laid back, but supportive. I find that it works best to meet people where they are and showing up for people when they need it most. Outside of my role here, I find passion in reading, music and spending time in nature.

I began my mental health career during my first year of my undergraduate years in Green Bay Wisconsin as a Behavior Technician providing ABA therapy to children on the Autism Spectrum for 10 years. After graduating with my Bachelor's Degree in Human Development and Psychology, I found myself exploring different career paths before realizing my true passion was to work in the field of helping people.  I am currently studying to become a Clinical Counselor at the University of Wisconsin Superior in efforts to pursue this passion further. I have worked with individuals of all ages but most of my work has been with children and youth. I love the way children see the world and teach us just as much as we have to teach them. My passions outside of work lie in raising my three children and enjoying building lifelong memories with my family. When I am not with my family I enjoy listening to music, playing hockey, and thrift shopping.

MENTAL HEALTH MANAGER

I have worked with adults with varying disabilities for my entire career, including as a job coach, a daily living skills trainer and a case manager. In these roles, I saw the need for improved mental health services in our rural communities. After receiving my Master’s degree in Social Work, I knew that I wanted to work more directly with mental health. My approach to services is as an advocate, walking alongside the person and trusting them as an expert in their own lives, while guiding the conversation towards self-reflection and growth opportunities. I love to laugh and often utilize humor whenever appropriate. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family, write letters and give back to the community through volunteerism.
