Feel at home again or for the first time
I am a midwesterner who moved to the PNW for graduate school and found that it felt like home. I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Sociology with a minor in Spanish from Northern Illinois University and a Masters Degree with a specialization in Eating Disorders from Lewis and Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling in Portland, Oregon.
I started my career in a high school seeing students and their families as well as running groups specializing in grief and teenage life. Since then, I have worked in an outpatient setting and have extensive experience working with juveniles involved in the justice system, DHS involved families and issues ranging from anxiety to complex trauma. Additionally, I have worked in an Eating Disorder intensive outpatient/day treatment setting for adolescents and adults. I am bilingual and offer services in both English and Spanish.
Through my work with children and adolescents, I have found that I am passionate about working with couples as well. Couples, whether together, separated or divorced have found relief from concerns including marriage/partner issues, conflict resolution and parenting. I am also happy to work with individuals.
When I’m in the office, Betty my therapy dog joins me. She loves spending time with clients and adds to a humorous and calming environment. When we aren’t working we like to hike, exercise and spend time with family.
Whatever your reason for seeking counseling, I would love to get to know you and help you reach the goals that would bring you to feel at home in your life, your family, with your partner or with yourself.
I offer free 20 minute consultation call to see if we’d be a good fit.
