I am excited to be part of your journey to healing. We all have the capacity in us to grow and be the best version of ourselves we can be. I believe in the power of positive relationships and what they can bring to our lives.

I have training in  many different modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Play Therapy among others. However I think the most important part of growth is the relationship that you form with your therapist. Building relationships based in trust, unconditional positive regard, assuming positive intent, and containing empathy translates to more positive relationships outside of the therapist's office. 

I received my bachelors degree from Portland State University in Science. Later in life, I discovered my passion for helping people, and began to understand my identity as a black man, who grew up fishing and hunting in rural Oregon, could offer unique perspectives to other’s experiences. That inspired me to return to Portland State University in which I received my Masters of Social Work degree. Since completing my degree in 2019, I have been working with elementary and middle school students, providing therapy in school settings. I have also worked in County Mental Health supporting Adults coping with addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, and helping to build healthier relationships.

I am looking forward to getting to know you, and what brings you to seek support, which can be a scary first step. I seek your partnership in this healing journey, and look forward to our work together.
