I believe all people are striving towards growth to be the best versions of themselves. As a therapist, I promote wellness and general well-being from a mindful and holistic approach, rather than a diseased or disordered orientation. In my 20years of experience, I have obtained training and practice in many different modalities. However, I believe there is great power in the therapeutic relationship and maintaining my person-centered theoretical lens through those methods.
My specializations have included ADHD, Autism Spectrum, trauma, LGBQ+, transgender transition, and developmental behavior issues in children. As a board-approved clinical supervisor, I have a passion for guiding and supporting other counselors in their growth and mastery.
I hold a BS in Health Services from Portland State University and an MS in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. I have also completed all Ph.D. coursework and practicum and am a Doctoral Candidate - ABD in Counselor Education &Supervision from Capella University.
Personally, I love spending time with my family outdoors camping, and riding OHV. I am obsessed with cats and Harry Potter and love being young at heart.
