I am passionate about coming alongside the first responder community (police, firefighters, EMS, dispatch) and helping them develop the mental health tools they need to not only survive, but thrive. From the stress of service calls, shift-work, and organizational politics, too many first responders come out on the other end of their service worse for the wear. Being former law enforcement, I personally experienced and witnessed this impact, and I became passionate about becoming a part of the solution by offering culturally competent mental health counseling.

I grew up in the small town of Silverton, Oregon. I took my first psychology class my junior year of high school and I've been a theory geek since that time. After two years of playing golf for Santa Barbara Community College I realized golf wasn't going to pay the bills. My undergraduate degree was in Sociology and my minor was in Philosophy. I began graduate at George Fox University. I choose that program because in addition to the graduate level psychology classes, we were required to take theology classes as well. I have been a licensed psychologist since 2007 and I have been at this current practice since 2009.
