I have been working in the field of mental health for 8 years. During this time I graduated Portland State with a B.S. in psychology and minor child and family services. I continued on with a master program at Grand Canyon University in professional counseling. Throughout my education I worked for community mental health agencies serving diverse populations with severe persistent mental health diagnoses, homelessness, domestic violence, and addiction. My experiences have prepared me to treat trauma, addiction, anxiety, and depression. I moved from community mental health to private practice in 2021 and have focused on acceptance work and trauma with many past clients. I have been providing couples/family therapy since 2021. I currently am a licensed professional counselor and a certified drug and alcohol counselor (CADC I). Aside from individual, couples, family, and group therapy I offer supervision for those seeking licensing with the Oregon board of licensed counselors and therapists.
