I'm a school counselor currently living in Oregon with my family on a ranch, where we enjoy the peace and connection that come with rural life. I've had the opportunity to live in California, Hawaii, and now Oregon—each place shaping my perspective and deepening my understanding of diverse communities and student needs.
I hold a Master of Education in School Counseling and began my career in special education. That experience gave me a strong foundation in supporting students with a wide range of abilities and backgrounds. Over time, I was drawn to school counseling, where I could focus even more on helping children grow emotionally, socially, and academically.
I’m passionate about working with kids and helping them find their voice and place in the world. Whether it’s through one-on-one conversations, group work, or school-wide programs, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where every student feels seen, heard, and empowered.

Hopefully everyone is settling into a routine and finding their groove. The month of september is suicide awareness month, and this is a great time to share out some resources for folks in need. Senate bill 52, othewise known as Adi's Act, was created in response to the death of a transgender student named Adi Staub. While any student is capable of struggling with mental health, our more vulnerable populations are at higher risk. Adi's act ensured that all schools have a plan for supporting students struggling with suicidal ideations and that they also have staff appropriately trained to in prevention, intervention and postvention. If you, or someone you know, is struggling, please reach out to your school counseling team and we can provide resources and support. Below I have linked a few different resources that may be beneficial.
