Overview

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oregon. I hold a Master of Social Work from Portland State University and a Master of Healthcare Administration from Oregon Health & Science University.

With over a decade of healthcare experience—including recent work in a Level 1 Trauma Center emergency department and an inpatient psychiatric hospital—I have supported individuals during some of life's most challenging moments. I bring that same steady, grounded presence into my therapy practice.

As a BIPOC clinician, I am deeply committed to providing culturally responsive care for individuals from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in helping people heal from trauma, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation—and I understand how these struggles can intersect with cultural identity, systemic stress, and life transitions.

My approach is grounded in patience, compassion, and collaboration. I see therapy as a true partnership.
