Children’s Mental Health Case Management (CMHCM) services are activities that are coordinated with family community support services and are designed to help children with a severe emotional disturbance and the child’s family obtain needed mental health, social, educational, health, vocational, and recreational services.
A case manager assesses a child’s changing needs, develops a plan with other service providers and the child’s family to best address the child’s needs, links the child and family to appropriate community resources and monitors the effectiveness of planned services.

Washington County Community Services contracts with Canvas Health to provide all of its state-mandated Children’s Mental Health Case Management services. CMHCM is a voluntary service and is delivered in partnership with the child and the child’s family.
Adult case managers assist adults with severe mental health needs in receiving mental health, social, educational, employment, and other necessary services in order to improve functioning and remain in the community. Mental Health Case Managers assess the strengths and needs of the client and family, connect them with the appropriate level and intensity of mental health care, coordinate services, organize care teams, and monitor the effectiveness of services. Case managers also assist with access and placement in residential care, treatment foster care and respite care, etc.

I approach new and existing clients with the theme in mind of meeting them where they are at. It is important to building a strong foundation of rapport before growth can be made.
I have been working in the mental health field for 12 years working with children with mental health concerns. I have specialized in ABA services with children with autism from 2010 to 2018 in home, in school, and clinic based. I then moved on to CTSS services in home for 3 years.

I love the work that I do with clients and am blessed to continue to do so in an all-inclusive environment.
I have been a mental health (MH) advocate for as long as I can remember, and I know that our MH is just as important as our physical health.

Adult Mental Health Case Manager
My professional philosophy is mental healthcare is healthcare. Every daily life action or decision starts with a thought. It’s important that our minds are healthy, so that we can make healthy choices that keep us safe and well.
I’ve served people in various capacities for just over 20+ years. I started early as a teen camp counselor for a YMCA program that engaged youth specifically with ADHD and that sparked my career. I’ve been a CNA, Palliative Care Worker, Assisted Living Care Manager, Direct Support Professional, Group Home (Lead, Supervisor, and House Manager), Mental Health Counselor, Adult Day Program Case Manager, Housing Stability Case Manager, 245 D Program Manager and Consultant for 245 D programs, CADI Case Manager, Adult Mental Health Case Manager (Hennepin and Dakota County). I’ve been “people-ing” for a long time now, and I enjoy what I do!
