I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Oregon and California. I am a wife, mother, animal lover, former collegiate swimmer, comedy enthusiast, and former wilderness guide. I value courage, belonging, social justice, and faith.

I support teens, adults, couples, and families in their journeys. For over a decade, I have worked in wilderness and transitional living treatment programs, in a college student health center, for department of human services child welfare, in private practice, and as a clinical supervisor.

I believe that people desire to be fully known and accepted for who they are and that everyone has value and worth and is inherently good. My primary vantage point is that people are a part of their environment and all aspects of a person's life shape who they are today. I work collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families to help them identify their patterns, obstacles, strengths, and goals. I am passionate about building relationships with people and restoring shalom (wholeness, harmony, and peace) . It takes courage to be vulnerable and take a step towards change and growth, so together we will practice vulnerability and courage to reach your goals. It is my honor to be a small part of your journey.

Luna, my therapy dog in training, also enjoys joining sessions. I am happy to bring her as a resource and she is also happy to chill at home if dogs aren’t your thing.
