Born and raised in South Carolina, I attended the University of South Carolina for my undergraduate education in Experimental Psychology. I found my way to Richmond, Virginia and began my graduate studies at the Medical College of Virginia. I graduated in 2015 with a Masters of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling. In 2020 I packed up my truck, dog and solo moved across the country to the great state of Oregon. Prior to my private practice, I had spent 10 years working in community mental health and behavior therapy clinics. 

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oregon and have been licensed since 2018.  

I currently live in SE Portland with my partner and our pup Doc. I identify as queer and am in a queer monogamous partnership. As an introvert at my core, my interests outside of my therapist identity include, gardening aka picking weeds (when will it stop?!), music, restorative practices, biking, camping, skiing, adventuring, and relishing in solo idle time.
