About

I am a Professional Counselor Associate in the State of Oregon, working under the clinical supervision of Lesley Burke, LPC, ATR-BC, LCAT. I have a master's degree in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling from Portland State University. You can learn more about trainings I've completed here.

I've provided counseling in community mental health and low-cost clinic settings, serving clients with diverse identities, lived experiences, life circumstances, and therapeutic goals. I also have professional experience in the wider mental health field, having worked in youth residential care, sexual violence prevention and education, college men's mental health, and contributed to mental health research focused on underserved populations.

I approach this work as a human with a counseling education and skillset. As a counselor and human in this world, I've gone through my own lived experiences navigating mental health and seeking therapy, which continues to help inform my understanding and approach to this work. I am committed to ongoing learning, reflection, consultation, supervision, and my own personal therapy, in order to be the best counselor I can be.

Outside of counseling, I spend my time: sewing, playing in my garden, connecting with loved ones, eating snacks, exploring with my dog, and appreciating moments of joy and beauty.
