I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I've been dedicated to providing therapy to older teens and adults since 2008. My journey in social work began after earning my bachelor’s degree from the University of Oregon. I worked extensively with adults facing chronic homelessness, substance abuse, and severe mental health issues. This early experience fueled my passion for helping others, leading me to pursue a Master of Social Work degree from Portland State University.

​

Professional Journey

Upon graduation, I found my calling in hospice and palliative care, offering bereavement counseling and social work services. This profound work inspired me to open my private practice, allowing me to offer a broader range of psychotherapy services. Over the years, I have worked with veterans, children, teens, young adults, older adults, and those in the LGBTQIA2S+ community, including individuals navigating polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous relationships.

​

​Community Focus

As a queer person and polyamorous person, I am deeply committed to serving the LGBTQIA2S+, polyamorous, and kink communities. My personal experiences enrich my professional practice, fostering a safe and inclusive environment for all clients, especially those living outside of normative culture.

​

Specialized Training

I am trained in MDMA-assisted psychotherapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, somatic therapies, and psychedelic harm reduction. My extensive experience with death, dying, and disability equips me to support clients through some of life's most challenging transitions.​​

Licensing and Membership
