I am a LCSW and have a BA in Psychology. I enjoy traveling and spending time with my yorkie-poo Bella. I have worked with at risk youth for about 12 years in various institutions including child welfare, juvenile department, and residential settings. I grew up in Portland Oregon and am the middle child of two brothers. I tend to gravitate towards at risk youth because that was a time period that I really struggled with. My ideal client is an in-depth thinker. They are willing and wanting to see more than what is in front of them. They are seeking to understand themselves and the environment around them. These are the kids who struggle with identity, self-expression, feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, ADHD, and life transitions and changes. I can offer the space to youth to be themselves and understand their own feelings and the environment around them. I invite youth to reach out to me if you want someone who you can connect with you and provide you with honestly and support to better yourselves.
