Conscience Healing

I am the owner of Conscience Healing and have worked with ages spanning from Pre-K to Geriatrics. I began my journey at The University of Oklahoma while working with children with developmental disabilities. I met a little boy that had a rare condition. Wanting to raise him, I started classes with DHS for the Mentor program. However, he was placed with a different foster family, and I was heartbroken. I was going to quit school for a while to process what happened, but my best friend suggested social work school. I didn't know what that was, so she suggested that I stop in at the school and find out. I did and the rest is history. I changed my major, applied for the program, and was accepted for the following fall. While my journey started with working with children, I have worked in many facets in the social work field. I am currently working with adult to senior adult populations. I enjoy working with all different diagnoses. I find all issues that clients are dealing with important, and no issue is too small. Society needs mentally healthy people, and I always remember that we all can be, are, or were clients at one point. I love helping clients realize their own empowerment and work toward finding coping skills that work for their lives. I have been a director in 2 different agencies and love administrative work, as well as clinical work. I am a Board Approved Supervisor for the LCSW Board and truly enjoy working with licensees to help them grow through their experiences in the field and gain insight into becoming the best therapist they can be with knowledge of the CSWE principles guiding their development. There is true beauty in watching others help others. There is true beauty in being a Social Worker, no matter how difficult the work is and we should never stop learning. I have an ostomy due to medical neglect, however, I am choosing to make the most of it and would love to help others that also have ostomies. I also have autoimmune disorders and have had medical trauma, so this is a population that I have a passion to work with. I truly believe that mental health and medical health should work together to make patient/client care a better experience, as both are affected by the other. Just because a disability isn’t always seen doesn’t mean it isn’t there and too often younger patients are dismissed because the patient is young, leaving them feeling lost, broken, alone, unseen, and unheard. This is my passion. This is my drive. This is why I advocate.
