About the store
I have worked as a licensed clinical social worker in a public high school since 2015 and was previously a clinician at a therapeutic boarding school. My background is in experiential education working primarily with middle and high school students providing adventure experiences to promote social emotional learning and therapeutic outcomes. From facilitating groups and managing ropes courses, guiding in wilderness therapy, providing treatment as a clinician in private and public schools, writing social emotional curriculum, designing and implementing programs for non profits, consulting with non profits around trauma informed practices, my experience has provided a unique opportunity to share this knowledge with others.
