About me
Biography
I am native to the state of Oregon, I am from Aloha and currently reside in Hillsboro. I chose to specialize in medical social work because I love working on a interdisciplinary team and normalize how our mental health is just as important as our physical health, and teaching the integration between the two to our members. I use she/her/hers pronouns.
About my practice
Approach to client care: I provide client-centered care from an attachment, trauma informed care, and strengths-based perspective. I use a range of treatment approaches including: psychodynamic, narrative, acceptance and commitment, solution focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectic behavioral therapy, collaborative problem solving, mindfulness, harm reduction, Areas of focus: in addition to providing interventions for a range of mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression, I have a specific skills set in: trauma (not DID), grief, substance use, obsessions/compulsions, social skills, parenting skills(teaching co-regulation, etc), sadness or loneliness, LGBTQ+ identity, inner guidance, panic disorders, difficulty with self-compassion and boundary setting, ADHD, suicidal ideation and non-suicidal self-injurious behavior, parenting children with unique needs and abilities, highly sensitive individuals, adjustment, adoption, school concerns/avoidance, pandemic stress, shame/guilt, needle phobia (brief in clinic). Population specialties: I provide brief interventions to child, family, and adolescents. In addition to transitional age adults transferring from their pediatrician to an adult provider.
How I thrive
How I thrive: Spending time with my family, partner, dogs and close friends. I love to try new restaurants/food carts and am almost willing to try anything new (as long as it's vegetarian). I enjoy traveling locally because I am a homebody and do need frequent quiet/down time to recharge my batteries; but I also do love an adventure from time to time. Volunteer work: I have previously volunteers with OFOSA (Oregon friend of shelter animals) and frequently fostered animals looking for a permanent home. I have done work with the Portland Mission, Habitat for Humanity, and was a summer camp counselor intern at Oregon State University for local residents. I recently signed up for the Be the Match foundation.
Hobbies/interests: Depends on the day! I do enjoy dancing and my partner teaches an adult hip hop dance class I attend frequently. I love learning, whether it's about an animal species, a specific poet's life, movie trivia, a new mental health intervention or world history.
