I'm a clinical social worker based in Portland, Oregon providing counseling via telehealth for folks throughout Oregon, Arizona and soon California! I have worked in Child Welfare and the emergency department of the largest trauma center in the PNW and started my therapy practice after being asked to by multiple patients that I worked with- and I'm so glad that I did! In therapy, I use a lot of humor and metaphor and ensure that my office is a judgement free zone so that we can really dig into the story of your life. I cuss a lot because sometimes the proper emphasis on how sh***y things can be is important! I use an eclectic mix of therapies, including cognitive behavioral, narrative and mindfulness therapy and I add skills from other areas regularly. I empower individuals to determine their own goals for therapy and work towards those goals by taking concrete steps while I help them process the emotional aspect of any change. I really love this work and I take good care of myself to ensure that I can show up fully for you. I participate in peer support, continuing education and, yes, have my own kickass therapist.
