Accepting New Clients in Oregon and Washington State- As a bi-racial female (Black presenting) who spent most of their life feeling as though half of themselves was never understood, I seek to provide a space where your voice will not be silenced or diminished. I value your unique backgrounds and experiences from race, gender, sexual orientation, culture, faith, income, and ability. From navigating my own mental health challenges and being a single mother, I learned the importance of having safe spaces and relationships that support us in our journey, non-judgmentally.

After 21 years as a police and fire dispatcher, I made the transition into the counseling field. For the majority of my public safety career I was a member of several peer support teams.

I work within a client-centered approach and believe you are the expert of your life. Working with past experiences, my goal is to help you find your path leading to a fulfilled and content life.

Life is a continual marathon, growth is an ongoing process, success is not defined by a tangible finish line and we as humans can do hard things; however, sometimes seeking therapy helps us get through hard things with the help and guidance of another person. At times, we are able to manage and navigate our struggles and other times our struggles are overwhelmingly difficult. If you feel that you have reached a point where would like assistance improving mental or emotional distress, then you have come to the right place!

I operate from a Christian worldview, and I am willing to integrate this into therapy as the client wishes.

From personal experience, I know how hard navigating the ups and downs of modern life can be. Debilitating thoughts like, “I’m not enough,” become barriers to progression. This brand of negative self-talk often leaves one feeling stuck and using whatever means necessary to alleviate the pain. I work from a philosophy that all emotions are “good” emotions. Like positive emotions, hard emotions give you insight into who you are and what's important to you. I believe the answers to creating a life worth living reside inside each one of us. My job is to help you uncover your unique ability to manage the challenges life throws your way.

Finding the strength and courage to ask for help is difficult and discouraging when you do not feel heard. I focus on first establishing a positive and supportive therapeutic relationship so that you feel safe and comfortable. I use a strength-based approach to help you rediscover your strength and confidence and guide you down a path tailored for you, to start living your life for yourself.
