My Approach

I will spend time getting to know you- your concerns, your strengths, your values, and your hopes for the future.

I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwest Christian University, and a Bachelor’s degree in Family and Human Services from University of Oregon.
