Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling
I was drawn to counseling through my own experiences with grief and through 17 years in education. These experiences showed me the power of empathy, connection, and compassionate support. My goal is to work with individuals as they navigate grief, trauma, and life transitions while recognizing their strengths and capacity for healing.

Masters in Social Work
I was called to this field because I had a social worker in my life who helped me navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to help others rewrite the narrative and live out the story they’ve always dreamed of.

Masters of Social Work
I completed my bachelor's degree at the University of Wyoming and my practicum at Wyoming Recovery, where I worked with adults receiving treatment for substance use disorders. I chose social work because I believe everyone deserves to be heard, treated with compassion, and given the opportunity to heal and grow, no matter what challenges they have faced. I strive to meet people where they are, listen without judgment, and help them recognize their strengths as they work toward positive change. I am excited to continue learning from the team, grow as a future social worker, and support the individuals and families we serve.

I believe that mental health is health, and that everyone deserves access to the support and tools they need to become the person they want to be and create the life they deserve. My passion for therapy grew from my own experience as a client and the positive impact it had on my life.
I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families, and children. My background in grief and end-of-life care has strengthened my belief that no one should have to navigate life's challenges alone. My goal is to provide a compassionate, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work after earning bachelor's degrees in Anthropology and Sociology. As a first-generation graduate student, I was drawn to social work through a desire to create meaningful change within my community and give a voice for marginalized populations. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, supported, and empowered, especially during life's most difficult moments. My goal is to become a clinical therapist and community advocate, working with individuals experiencing severe mental illness while helping adolescents and adults build confidence, resilience, and hope for the future.

I am drawn to therapy and social work because I have always wanted to help people through some of the hardest moments of their lives. At the core of who I am, I simply want to help people feel seen, heard, and supported when they are struggling. My own life experiences have shown me how important it is to have someone who listens without judgment, provides support, and helps people recognize their strengths even when they cannot see them themselves. Those experiences have shaped who I am and have given me a deep sense of empathy for people facing trauma, mental health challenges, addiction, grief, and other difficult circumstances. They have also strengthened my desire to be the person who offers hope, compassion, and support to others during the moments when they need it most.
A glimpse into the experience:
Former intern, Melissa Behringer, PCSW shares the following:
As a master’s student in social work, my internship at the Hub gave me opportunities and training that closely aligned with the program’s core values and competencies in working with individuals, groups, and the wider community. Over two semesters, I met weekly with clients from diverse backgrounds while receiving consistent feedback and supervision.
Beyond direct practice, the Hub provided access to a variety of trainings led by both in-house and outside specialists, which enriched my skills and broadened my perspective. Perhaps most meaningful, I was supported in stepping beyond the walls of the Hub to advocate for positive change in our community. I consider this an invaluable experience that strengthened my identity as both a student and a community member.
Christy and the Hub foster a welcoming, supportive environment where students can explore different modalities and follow their passions. My gratitude for the Hub continues to grow as it expands and deepens its role as a resource for students, providers, and the wider community.
Former intern, Alicia Sojourner, PCSW shares the following:
My internship experience at the Mental Health Hub was truly transformative. It gave me the freedom to see that there are meaningful and fulfilling paths for clinicians outside of traditional agency settings, while still making a deep impact in the lives of others. Throughout my time here, I felt supported not only as a developing clinician, but also as a person growing into the professional I hope to become. The environment encouraged authenticity, learning, and connection in a way that made this experience unforgettable. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have learned alongside such an amazing team, and even more grateful that I now get to continue that journey as part of the Hub family🫶🏻.
