My Approach to Helping

I have extensive training and experience in various forms of theory and practice, which include treating each individual in a holistic manner, recognizing the importance of family and social systems in a person's growth, building on one's strengths, and seeing people as creative and social beings who need encouragement to thrive. We'll work together on establishing goals for your treatment, and we'll address what is happening in your brain and your body when you are experiencing anxiety and stress in order for you to learn how to calm your systems.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in the healing power of connection, vulnerability, and relationship. It is my desire for everyone to have access to evidence-based, excellent mental health services with a counselor who fits their particular needs. I am passionate about growing diversity within the field, researching and advocating for greater representation of minority populations in counseling and counselor education. As a lifelong Oregonian, I, like the forest mushrooms, thrive in the cool and moist climate of the Northwest. My family embraces the outdoor life of hiking, campfires, and owning more than one Subaru. I am married and actively working to launch my three children into adulthood (we don't talk enough about how difficult this process can be!). Our family practices social justice, participating in marches and community actions that support our Black neighbors, women's rights, and the LGBTQ community. I am an avid fan of the Timbers and Trail Blazers, no matter how often my heart is broken.
