Access Team Clinician

How I help:
As an Access Team Clinician, I am often the first therapist new clients meet when beginning services. I help introduce individuals to the therapy process, provide initial support, and ensure a smooth and welcoming transition into care. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive first experience that helps clients feel understood and confident as they begin their therapeutic journey.

My specialties:
In my role on the Access Team, I focus on initial engagement, assessment, and connection to appropriate services. This allows clients to be matched with care that best meets their needs while setting a strong foundation for ongoing treatment.

More about me:
I earned my bachelor’s degree from Fort Hays State University with majors in Psychology and Sociology, and my Master of Social Work from the University of Kansas. Prior to joining Pawnee, I worked in a variety of settings including private practice, community mental health, higher education as both an instructor and administrator, school social work, and as a director of a federal grant.

Outside of work, I love spending time at the lake, which helps me recharge and stay grounded.
