I'm an Oregon transplant with a love for the outdoors. My favorite days include spending at least some time outside, preferrably hiking or gardening. I am a Child of Deaf Adults (CODA) and ASL was my first language. Growing up in a Deaf household, I experienced life in a way that most people around me couldn't understand. It is becuase of this that I work to give my clients a space to feel understood. My goal in my work with clients is to provide a safe space to explore all of the thoughts and feelings that come with being human and trying to figure out what that means for them. I am an LCSW with over 8 years of experience working with people of all ages who are navigating challenging experiences or facing obstacles that may feel insurmountable. Being human myself, I've navigated quite a few challenges and obstacles. While I don't have all (or even most) of the answers, I approach client concerns with general curiosity and a desire to hear their experiences so that we can, together, create a solution.
