Over the past five years, I have been working with teens who have experienced physical, emotional, and/or sexual abuse, along with community, gang, and gun violence in a juvenile correctional facility. I am a trained trauma therapist utilizing TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as interventions. Before this, I was doing family therapy in homes. Therapy is not meant to be easy, and I am here to build a therapeutic relationship that allows you to be pushed and challenged to achieve personal growth. Trauma therapy is hard, and you can do hard things!

I am also starting to branch into Sports Therapy professionally. As a former athlete, I understand the struggles and demands that sport asks of us and the vulnerabilities we don't feel we can or should discuss.

I have my Certificate in Sports Social Worker through The National Alliance of Social Workers in Sports. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Minnesota.
