My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Born and raised in Portland, I am just returning to PDX after spending a decade away in Colorado. It makes my heart sing to be back again amongst the trees, closer to the ocean, and able to appreciate the great food we have to offer. As a person with my own death losses and chronic illness in my life, I draw from both my professional and personal experiences in the empathy that I bring for my clients. That being said, I know that each experience and each individual is different and have done my work so I know how to hold safe boundaries between our experiences. I live my life with care and intention so I can bring integrity, stability, and compassion to our work together.
