Meet Your Therapist

Hello! I have been working with diverse populations in Portland for nearly 20 years. My experience is rooted in helping young people identify their strengths and meet their goals.

My Background
I have an extensive history working with adolescents, young adults, and families, which helps me understand the pressures young people face. I have received specialized training in:

• Trauma-informed care: Creating safety for healing.

• Collaborative Problem Solving: Working with you, not against you, to solve issues.

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Tools for emotion regulation.

I am passionate about helping adolescents and young adults find their footing in a complex world. I offer a compassionate, down-to-earth, and honest approach to therapy.

Outside the Office
When I am not working, I love exploring the Pacific Northwest. You can usually find me bikepacking, backpacking, or hiking through nature.
