About

I have  worked with families for over 20 years. My passion lies with working with the "tough" kids and their families. I have intense training in trauma-informed practices and excel at providing real-life, applicable strategies to parents, educators, and mental health professionals. 

I wear multiple hats: international speaker, published author, a clinician, Service Member, mother, sister, daughter, friend, co-parent with ex-husband. The most important hat I wear: HUMAN.

ABOUT STACY'S EDUCATION, TRAINING AND CREDENTIALS

For those of you who want to know more about my education, training, and credentials, here you go. 

I am Wyoming born and raised. I landed in Billings, Montana for my college career.  I earned a Bachelor's in Science Degree in Psychology Education from Rocky Mountain College.  

After working for a couple years in school-based mental health, I realized I needed more education so I completed a Master's in Social Work through Walla Walla University in Billings, Montana. 

After 2 years of supervision and completing clinical hours, I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I transferred this license from Montana to Colorado when I moved in 2013 (Colorado License #2073). 

In 2013, I became a member of the Wyoming Army National Guard.  I serve as a Behavioral Health Officer.  This role has added a different lens to my training about trauma as I now see the impact of childhood trauma through adulthood. Serving the Nation's Service Members is such an honor. 

My desire to learn and grow as a clinician directly impacts all of my professional ventures.  I have additional training in: 

* Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics, Phase I and II, Certified Clinician through The ChildTrauma Academy

* Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

* Beyond Consequences, Logic, and Control

* Neurofeedback

* Play Therapy

* Animal Assisted Therapy

* Treating Military Service Members and Families
