- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Oregon and Idaho. I also am certified as a CADC in Oregon and ACADC in Idaho. I have 24 years experience working in the helping fields. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder and relationship, parenting issues. I have worked in community health, in prisons and outpatient treatment. I obtained my BA at Eastern Oregon University and my MSW at Walla Walla University.
My counseling style is warm, respectful and interactive. My desire is to help you achieve your goals by providing a safe authentic and compassionate setting. I know it takes courage to seek out help and to take the first steps to change. I look forward to helping you make the changes you desire and provide support and give you the tools to work through your issues.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
