I work from a pragmatic, yet open approach to therapy that considers the experiences and narratives one has in relation to their social location, beliefs, community, relationships, culture, and spirituality. This allows me to attune and empathically understand what patients are bringing into sessions and how I may aid in bringing clarity to the issues at hand and what may be done for therapeutic progress to occur.

I believe therapy to be a collaborative and flexible process where therapist and clients work together to determine how sessions will proceed as therapy progresses. I hold a master’s degree in Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy from Lewis and Clark College. Major course work included applied child and adolescent development, family development, couples therapy, group counseling, and applying systemic perspectives towards therapeutic practice. During my program's yearlong practicum, I was able to work with a wide range of populations due to my externship placement in a primary health care setting. I also worked a year as an ABA technician through a clinic specializing treatment with children with autism.
I primarily use behavioral based modalities such as CBT or DBT with my clients. I also use structural family therapy when working with families, as well as using play therapy or art supplies to allow clients to be able to converse or express themselves more comfortably.
