Robin is an Advanced Practice Social Worker working with individuals from early adolescence through adulthood. She also provides school based-mental health services in the Menomonie and Colfax school districts.

Robin received her Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from UW Stout in 2017 and her Masters of Social Work from Aurora University in 2019. Robin has her APSW license working toward obtaining her LCSW licensure.

Robin has worked in a wide array of positions within the social work and helping field. Robin began her social work career working at Boys and Girls Club as a lead teacher, a Behavioral Treatment Technician with WEAP, and as a support broker and in-home care professional for adults who have invisible disabilities. Robin has mentored teens, completed internships in Child Protection and an Emergency Shelter in Barron County. Her most recent positions were at Dunn County as a Social Worker in their CCS/CLTS department and Lily Home & Hospice.

One of Robin’s greatest career achievements was helping to create a bill for individuals with invisible disabilities. She was able to meet Gov. Scott Walker when he signed Senate Bill 415 into law, known as Collin’s Law. Collin’s Law creates an optional registry with the DMV that alerts officers to an invisible disability. When applying for a driver’s license, individuals are able to fill out a brief form identifying their invisible disability and include additional information they want law enforcement officers to have access to. This registry is electronically linked to a driver’s license or vehicle registry that allows for better interactions with law enforcement.

All of Robin’s experience shows how greatly she enjoys helping those around her. She has a deep passion for helping others be successful and happy. Robin’s thoroughly enjoys working with children because she loves seeing the world through their eyes, watching them find joy in the simple things, and believes that behavior can be a form of communication in a time when children might not be able to find the words.

When not working, Robin usually has her head in a book as she loves reading. She enjoys spending time with her partner and their 3 dogs and cat. Robin loves eating different kinds of food, snuggling under soft, comfy blankets, and spending time outside in the sun. She loves traveling and gaining new experiences and has a dream of traveling to Japan and Italy one day.

TESTIMONIALS

As a parent having the School Based Mental Health available has been very helpful with my child.  The process has gone smoothly from the initial contact to being able to choose a therapist that may work best with my child to the therapist working directly with my child.  This is also helpful that they are able to come directly to my child at the school so that they are missing less school and I as a parent need to miss less work as well.  Overall the whole experience has been a positive one for both myself and my child.

As a therapist, having the School Based Mental Health available for students is very important in many aspects. School is an area where children spend a great amount of their time and the schools are able to work with the therapists to help in any areas that they may be struggling in.  The schools have all been very open with working with me as a therapist and the children are able to still get services that are needed for either home or school issues without having to miss more time at school since the therapy is able to be done right at the school settings.  Being able to provide this service for families is a great asset for everyone involved.

“I liked how they gave me strategies and not just one but many so I could choose what I liked and didn’t like!”
CFAUSD Student
You made this process super easy and helped me every step of the way to ensure that my student is set up for success. In following up with me and making sure we were taken care of shows that you care about the students and their wellbeing. Thank you so much for making this as easy as it was, I truly appreciate everything!

School-based mental health services allow a child to receive much needed services regularly without the inconvenience of scheduling around after school activities or parents having to take time off work.

“The group was very good, and it calmed me down a lot. When you feeling stressed this class is a time to just relax and think about everything and it soothes your mind.”   “I liked that every time I needed to relax or talk about something I would not get judged that place was a free spot.”   “Being in the relax group really helped me become calm, and know what to do in times when I’m overwhelmed. The Relax Group also helped me focus on everyday tasks, and the group gave some incredibly good advice :)”
