I believe in supporting people’s pursuit of health and happiness and helping them figure out whatever that means to them. I have been working as a clinician in Central Oregon since 2012 and am passionate about investing in my community and the people that comprise it. I am a huge advocate of counseling services and believe anybody can benefit from counseling services.
I operate primarily from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy lens which means I enjoy exploring the connections between attitudes, thoughts and beliefs, and their relationship with emotions and behaviors. I am also trained in EMDR, which is a therapeutic modality focused on helping people move through trauma and redefine their experiences and narratives around trauma.
I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (2013) and have been working as a counselor in Central Oregon since2012. I have worked in Juvenile Corrections, Addiction and Recovery, and Community Mental Health prior to joining Brightways in 2020. In my free time, I enjoy playing and watching soccer and spending time at the beach.
