Homeward Bound

• Transition Specialist

  • May 2006 - Mar 2009

  At Homeward Bound I traveled around the country working with families whose teens were returning from residential or wilderness programs. I would work with the families prior to the transition home and then go to the families home during the first week their son or daughter returned. The visits would last about two days and during that time I would work on communication, parenting, rules and consequences and helping the teen become established in the community with the support that they would need as they transitioned home.



Southwest Counseling Service

• Outpatient Therapist

  • Nov 2003 - Apr 2006

  At Southwest Counseling Service I worked to provide individual, family, and couple therapy. I was trained in the best practice therapy, Functional Family Therapy. Additionally I worked on the suicide crisis line where I would take crisis calls in Sweetwater county. During these calls I would work with suicidal individuals who were calling the line to get support. I would follow up with emergency room suicide attempts and follow up to make sure they had the necessary resources.
