History
After teaching for 10 years and teaching special education for six of those years, I started my private practice in June of 2010 upon graduating from the Graduate School of Education Counseling Program at Portland State University. Since that time, I have become a licensed professional counselor and a licensed marriage and family therapist. I currently hold a Master's degree in Education, a Master's degree in Counseling, and a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I continue to build my practice, participate in professional development, and write for goodtherapy.org. I am a topic expert on parenting.
Specialties
I am a licensed teacher turned family therapist who specializes in counseling individuals, adolescents, couples, and families who are committed to owning their contribution to the problem while increasing the capacity to accept and tolerate differences in relationships. This is a process that must occur prior to increasing the emotional bond with others.
