CSW

Welcome, I’m Jane!

I am a Certified Social Worker. I love helping people. I believe I was a social worker “in vitro” and have continued my whole life. I have worked with pregnant teenagers, physically handicapped individuals, the elderly, hospice clients, and in Medicaid Nursing home eligibility determination.

I work with older teenagers, adults, men and women. I practice strength based, solution based, mindfulness, relaxation, DBT and
ACT methods and modalities. I will help you learn and practice breathing methods, relaxation, meditation, self care and other skills to give your mind
and body the break they need to recharge. I believe using clients’ strengths gives you the best avenue for success.

I believe every client has strengths. I want to help you find what works for you to be your best self. I want you to know I believe in you. I want you to
know your past, your trauma, and your current hardships do not define who you are or who you can be. I want to flip your script and rewrite your story
to help you to be successful, to find the peace you are seeking and the joy you desire.

I received my Master’s in Social Work from West Virginia University. There were no online programs then. I had to drive an hour and a half to get to classes and an hour and a half to get home three nights a week. It was grueling but very worth it. We moved to Washington, Utah in 2014. We left Ohio on Thanksgiving Day as it started to snow.

Why counseling? Since I moved to Utah, I have not been able to use my skills as a Social Worker. Instead, I have cleaned houses, worked in Memory Care as an Activities Director and in Property Management. Connie asked me if I would be interested in using my skills and broadening my horizons by joining her counseling services. I thought about it and prayed about it. Here I am.
