Overview
I hold a Master of Social Work from Portland State University and bring over a decade of experience as a middle and high school teacher prior to becoming a therapist. My background in education and the humanities deeply shaped how I understand development, identity, and the emotional lives of people.
I’ve worked in alternative high school settings, as an interim elementary school counselor in Morocco, and in a senior living community supporting older adults through grief and major life transitions. As a person, I am curious, thoughtful, warm, and deeply respectful of the vulnerability it takes to seek support.
My approach is grounded in meaning-centered, relational, and strengths-based therapy. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, identity, and life transitions. In session, I am collaborative, curious, and engaged, with a focus on insight, emotional integration, and authentic personal change.
I am a master's-level candidate holding a certificate to practice in Oregon as a social work associate. I practice under a board-approved clinical supervisor, pursuant to OAR 877-020-0012, at Mindful Therapy Group, P.C.
