PM Breakout Session - The Who, What, When, and Why of the Infant Early Childhood Mental Health Endorsement!
I currently work as an outpatient therapist where I specialize in providing treatment for young children and families who have experienced trauma. Prior to pursing a graduate degree in social work, I taught in a public elementary school here in Utah. My multidisciplinary background gifts me multiple perspectives from which to view children, families, and their development. I loved teaching and working with children but felt that something was missing from my career. When I was introduced to the field of infant and early childhood mental health I found what I'd felt was missing-- an emphasis on relationships, especially the relationship between caregiver and child. My self care routine includes practicing yoga, making pottery, and going on hikes with my husband, one year old son, and our two dogs.
