About Me :
I am a native Oregonian who loves the beach, paddleboarding, volunteering with rescue dogs, and anything musical including guitar, dance, singing, and attending concerts.
I have worked in an emergency and inpatient health care setting full-time for the last five years and I am continuing part-time in addition to private practice counseling. Prior to the hospital setting, I worked in the service industry for 10 years as a bartender, server, and barista. Through this work experience I've found ways to connect with all kinds of people.
Philosophy & Approach :
My approach to counseling is person-centered and integrative, drawing interventions from multiple modalities depending on the individual needs, cultural background, and presenting issues of each client. The theories I primarily draw from include cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). and Compassionate Inquiry. My goal as a counselor is to help you function optimally in all aspects of life by providing a safe space, unbiased viewpoints, challenging prompts, and kindhearted inquiries. I believe everyone possesses innate wisdom and powerful healing within themselves, and through collaborative therapeutic efforts we can access those qualities within to help you lead a fulfilling and fun life.
Formal Training & Education :
I earned my undergraduate in Psychology from Capella University in 2021. In 2025, I graduated with my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Capella. I am an active member of both the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the Association for Creativity in Counseling (ACC; part of the ACA), and I abide by the ACA Code of Ethics.
