My background includes working on crisis lines for Veterans, suicidal individuals, community mental health, and addictions. Previous work includes community mental health clinics, residential care as an addictions counselor as well as outpatient mental health counseling for students and the general public. Before migrating into the social services realm I worked in information technology. I made this move because working with people is my passion and I feel truly privileged to walk this journey.

I hold a master’s degree in Professional Mental Health Counseling from Lewis and Clark College with a focus on mind, body, and spirit. Additionally I have been trained in EMDR, suicide prevention, and alcohol and drug issues. I complete continuing education on a regular basis and I am always learning something new. I enjoy working with gender issues including gender non-conforming, genderqueer, and transgender, and relationships including polyamory and other consensual non-monogamy.
