I grew up in Portland, Oregon and have worked primarily in Community Mental Health for 18 years, providing individual therapy, program management and supervision to diverse and underserved populations and staff. Populations I have worked with include persons experiencing homelessness and severe mental illness, older adults and their caregivers, and refugee/immigrant communities.

I have also worked in college settings, residential facilities, provided in-home therapy and in private practice. I particularly enjoy working with moms/parents, young adults, working professionals and caregivers.

I love spending time with my husband, 3 kids (two teenagers and a grade schooler), and our dog, Hank. Some of my favorite things are traveling (in Oregon, the U.S. and the world), outdoor activities (biking, hiking, camping), creating art and crafting, cooking and baking, and recreational games (ping pong, pickleball, bowling).

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon (License #C741).
