Professional Life

I am a graduate student earning my Master of Arts in Counseling with Northwestern University. In 2022, I graduated from the University of Virginia with a double major in Psychology and Women, Gender and Sexuality studies, concentrating in Sexuality Studies. My background in gender and sexuality, as well as my own identity as a queer woman, has made me especially passionate about working with clients who feel impacted by normative ideas about sex, sexuality, and gender. My goal is to create a safe and affirming therapeutic alliance, where clients can feel supported in:

• Negotiating interpersonal relationships with equity, authenticity, and self-advocacy

• Healing the mind, body, and mind-body connection after trauma

• Navigating societal power structures and experiences of oppression with agency and empowerment 

• Identity formation and integration, including LGBTQ2SIA+ identities and survivorship

I value transparency and collaboration in the counseling relationship, taking an egalitarian, strengths-based, and person-centered approach. As part of my supervision at Oregon City Counseling, I am receiving training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). 

I treats the following therapeutic concerns:

• Anxiety / Depression

• Grief and Loss

• Life Transitions

• Relationship Concerns

• Trauma

• Women’s Issues

• LGBTQIA2S+ Issues
