Ministry Experience:

I have been volunteering in church ministries for over a decade. In Summer camps, I have taught in both children and adolescent ministries. I have also  participated in various music programs. I am currently on staff at Church of Grace in Portland, Oregon.

Counseling Experience:

I have provided counseling to young, middle aged, and older adults dealing with various mental health conditions. I have a passion for and currently counsel individuals struggling with addictions and those with severe mental illness. I operate from a Cognitive Behavioral and Existential approach to help create a healing relationship with my clients. My hope is to help each individual obtain the necessary life skills to live a fulfilled and meaningful life. My areas of focus are ANXIETY, SEXUAL ADDICTIONS, DEPRESSION, RELATIONAL ISSUES, LIFE TRANSITIONS, and PERSONAL GROWTH.
