You are here. So, you are motivated to make change! I know life is challenging! It brings many hardships and sometimes, we might need a little support navigating them. My goal is to create a safe space where we can be open, honest, and authentic in our communication, and work collaboratively together to navigate the obstacles preventing you from reaching your full potential. I have experience working with youth and adults. I offer support in a wide range of issues including anxiety, family relationship concerns, racial identity, and trauma.

I’ve seen how culture and ethnicity can influence the realm of therapy. As a black clinician, I naturally specialize in understanding the needs of people of color and can relate to their experiences, and I’m equally passionate about supporting and guiding individuals from all backgrounds.

I believe that everyone can reach an optimum state of health. I employ an eclectic (or including all kinds of therapy types) approach with a strong reliance on cognitive-behavioral aspects. I am trained in EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, PCIT therapy, Infant/Toddler Mental Health, mindfulness techniques, and possess a certificate in Substance Abuse Treatment. I also have several years experience and training with sexual assault and domestic violence. 

For my formal education and training; after completing my bachelor degree and obtaining a Substance Abuse Certificate, I realized I was not able to assist clients with trauma or other issues. So, I went back to school to get the degree I needed to be able to help all the people who came to me. Now, I have a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling.

My career began with teenagers in residential treatment for substance abuse, after this I worked with a younger group of 5-11 year olds in residential treatment for behavior problems. From there I moved to adults with legal issues and substance abuse, while having a second job as a sexual assault counselor. I have worked with very young children, under 1 year old and their parents, as well as older adults who are in need of resolving old conflicts in their past so they can look forward to the future and all others in between.  

The therapy techniques we use depend on you and what works best for you, this is a team effort with you in the lead. Let’s talk about how I can help you today. I welcome all ages and backgrounds.

Welcome to my page! I specialize in supporting those seeking help for anxiety, panic attacks, stressful transitions, traumatic stress, stress transitioning from a teen to an adult, ADHD symptoms and depression. I can also support clients with eating disorders if the client agrees to including their Doctor in their care. For youth under the age of 18 seeking treatment for an eating disorder a parent must be involved.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I consider the person in their environment and believe many things can impact mental health. This also means one's mental health can impact every area of their life making it so important for people to have the support they need. For these reasons I use a strengths-based holistic approach. I aim to take the mystery out of mental health by passing my knowledge onto my clients so they have a clear understanding of their treatment plan and learn the skills to manage their needs in collaboration with me. I tailor treatment to the individual and if interested I can offer mindfulness techniques, art, writing activities, play, games, crafts and a little humor in sessions.

I have been working in various helping profession positions for a little over 12 years such as Case Manager, Family Service Specialist and Therapist. Beyond my college and licensure trainings. I also have certification through the Oregon Center for Career Development in Childhood Care and Education meaning I've completed a number of trainings regarding children from birth to age 6.

I love this work and look forward to hearing from anyone seeking therapy.

As an Indigenous person, I deeply acknowledge that a sense of personal identity is integral for a culturally-informed healing and learning journey. My sessions typically include holistic approaches to well-being, such as grounding based on traditional values and empowerment, using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I use approaches that are evidence-based and allow for specialized therapy based on your values.

My educational background includes a Masters of Arts in Applied Psychological Science at Pacific University, which focused on integrating counseling skills with research, and my Bachelors of Science in Psychology from Portland State University. I also completed a six-month clinical internship at the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, where I gained knowledge in cultural responsiveness among rural and Indigenous people. Currently, I am a Professional Counselor Associate working toward full licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor under the supervision of a clinical supervisor.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative effort. Ultimately, my goals are your goals, and we'll work together to best meet your needs. If you're ready to talk, I'm here to listen.

You have found yourself in a strange new world, but feel you don't belong. Afraid to reveal your true self and what you believe. What fears do you need to face? What stands between you and your happiness? Is life possible after trauma? When you learn to wield your mind skillfully like a sword, there is no foe too great and no challenge too steep.

Specialties: I have a passion for helping the LGBTQ+ community with anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictive thoughts and behaviors. I strongly believe in practicing and teaching meditation skills for formal and informal practice, building self-confidence and awareness through Non-Dual and integral philosophy, and self-empowerment through support in navigating life's many challenges.

Modalities: I have primarily found Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Person Centered Therapy to be the pillars of my therapeutic style. Additionally I have completed basic training for EMDR which I have found to be using in addressing post-traumatic symptoms and self-defeating thoughts and beliefs that hold us back.

Education: I have earned my Bachelor's degree from Portland State University majoring in psychology and earned my Master's degree in Applied Psychological Sciences with a clinical focus from Pacific University.

Experience: I have extensive experience with teens and young adults. I worked at Albertina Kerr, an in-patient setting, for children and teens who were experiencing severe emotional, mental, and existential distress. I was an intern counselor in an outpatient setting at William Temple House where I primarily helped young adults. I was employed by Marion County Children's Behavioral Health as both a crisis mental health specialist and therapist for children and teens for crisis intake and ongoing outpatient therapy.

There seems to be a rhythm to life. An outflow and an inflow, an up and a down. There is also a clockwise spin to the future or counterclockwise spin to the past projections in our minds. The more to the outer edges there is chaos and life experienced when attached or avoiding. But the more toward the center and into our self we go, the more we reach a point of order, stillness, and life when unattached and accepting of what may come.

Hello! My approach to services is strengths-based and person centered. I truly believe that individuals are the experts in their own lives. My goal is to help you identify where you are struggling and walk alongside you as you learn new skills and discover your resilience and strengths. I believe in empowering people to help themselves by building confidence in their abilities and discovering all the wonderful things they are capable of.

I have experience working with youth and their families in both inpatient residential settings and outpatient community settings. I specialize in trauma-focused care in children and adolescents. Much of my experience has been working with individuals who have experienced trafficking, as well as youth who have run from home or are experiencing homelessness. I have also worked with BIPOC youth and those who identify with the LGBTQIA+ community. My experience also includes extensive group therapy work for a multitude of concerns including; anger management, skills for managing anxiety and depression, mindfulness, self-control, poor self-esteem and body issues, and navigating trauma symptoms.

I have had specific training conducting trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy both in person and via telehealth. My training and experience also includes incorporating holistic approaches to care and working through inter-generational and systemic trauma. I have had training in family therapy approaches and believe in creating a space for families to come together and learn to positively communicate so that they may self-create safe, secure, and healthy family systems. I also believe that one size does not fit all and I enjoy being able to incorporate things like art, movement, and music into my practice.

I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey to self-discovery!
