Welcome! I am a licensed professional counselor in private practice in Portland, OR and the owner of WellPath Counseling & Associates. I have worked for many years as an OBPLCT Approved Supervisor providing clinical supervision for Professional Counselor Associates seeking LPC and LMFT licensure in Oregon. I an also an adjunct professor and clinical supervisor for Lewis and Clark College. This experience of helping guide counselors in their clinical and professional development led me to open WellPath Counseling & Associates. We offer a team of well-trained counselors who are provided the support, resources, and a network of professionals to help them focus on providing you with quality mental health care.

My training started with receiving my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from Portland State University and beginning practice as a family therapist in school settings working with adolescents and their families. In 2013, I opened my solo private practice, seeing adult individuals and couples specializing in relationship issues and trauma. I am trained in EMDR, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and IFS. I have adjunct taught couples and family therapy courses at Portland State University and provided supervision to graduate interns in PSU’s MFT and Community Mental Health.

Additionally, I have had the great honor of being involved with state-wide development of the counseling profession as a Past President of the Oregon Counseling Association, (2020-2021), former chair of ORCA’s Professional Development and Education Committee (2018-2019) and Past Treasurer and board member for COPACT (2019-2023).
