I specialize in empowering change through a strength-based, advocative lens, while also helping process and regulate emotions. I strive to help people recognize recurring thought patterns, and provide a comforting space. My specialty areas include teens, young adults, and adults looking for help with managing their emotions.
When outside of the office, I enjoy being outdoors, listening to music, and connecting with friends and family.
I have experience with people from all different age groups. I have extensive experience with teens, working at the Boys and Girls Club as well as Tigard High School. Coming from community mental health, I have experience with higher acuity disorders such as schizophrenia and psychosis. I also have experience with case management and medication management, as well as working with clients from the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
