I am a professional counselor associate and have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. I earned my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Oregon and earned my Master's Degree from the American International College in Clinical Psychology. I have 9 years of experience working in a variety of settings, including transitional living, intensive community therapy, crisis intervention, and telehealth.

I work from an eclectic approach and incorporate CBT, Person Centered, Collaborative Problem Solving, Play Therapy, and Mindfulness theories. This means that by paying attention to how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors come together, we can explore what is getting in the way of where we want to be and build the skills needed to grow. I believe strongly in continuing to learn, so feel free to ask me what other theories I am exploring. By using an integrated approach, I hope to be able to draw on a variety of interventions to best meet you where you are.

I view counseling as being equal parts of a team. I have skills and knowledge to share, but you are the expert of you. Dr Seuss said it best, "Today you are you. That is truer than true. There is no one alive who is more youer than you". With you in the driver's seat, I'd be honored to work with you to chart a course to where you want to go. You're on your own path and made it this far (you've also read this lengthy bio, so well done). The road goes ever on and on and the greatest adventure is what lies ahead.
