I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than two decades of experience in the mental and behavioral health field. Throughout my career in Northern California and Southern Oregon, I have helped individuals and families navigate life’s challenges while fostering meaningful growth and connection, providing compassionate, strengths focused care to individuals and families throughout the region. For the past 12 years I worked as a Mental Health Therapist in school-based health centers, supporting students and families in developing healthier relationships, strengthening emotional resilience, and improving overall well-being. I earned my Master of Social Work in 2015 and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2022.
I have a virtual private practice since the pandemic started. I graduated from Lewis & Clark College with a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2017 and have been practicing for 8 years. I have specialized in treated OCD and Grief & Loss in both adults and children.
When I am not at work, I take care of my large plant collection, listen to audiobooks, practice drums and spend time with family and friends.
I’m a therapist who wants you to feel more at home in your life and emotions. I know reaching out can feel scary, especially when life feels uncertain or suddenly different, so I focus on creating a space that feels calm, safe, and truly supportive. I speak English and Spanish, and I deeply respect each person’s story, culture, and values as we work together.
I've been a mental health therapist for 8 years and work with childhood trauma, relationship/attachment issues, and spirituality. I am working on becoming a certified sex therapist. I also like to blend in mindfulness and body based healing practices with clients.
I am passionate about children, adolescents and adults, especially for the well-being of families. I have been a Special Education Teacher and Counselor for over 35 years. My philosopy is based on a psychodynamic, holistic (mind, body, spirit) approach to enrich lives and help heal emotional wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the use of Expressive Arts are helpful in changing thinking patterns and perceptions that impede growth and awareness. I believe in the process of our God-given Life and strengths within each of us to shine more brightly.


Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Oregon starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or life transitions, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Oregon-licensed therapists include LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs, and psychologists — and if you need medication management, psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners are also available.
Practical factors matter, too. If you're in Portland or Eugene, you may have a wide range of in-person options. If you're in a smaller city like Bend, Medford, or Ashland — or anywhere in rural Oregon — virtual sessions can open up access to providers you might not find locally. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and approach, so you feel more confident going into your first session.
Therapy in Oregon can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your cost per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see an estimated session cost upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your needs and your budget.
