About Me: I have been a school counselor in Portland Public Schools since 2015. I really enjoy middle schoolers! I support students in many ways through social emotional learning in classrooms, support groups, and individually. I am here to help students navigate a variety of challenges at school or home, as well as any struggles with mental health.

About Me: I am covering for Ruth while she's on leave until the end of February. I have been working with adolescents and families in a variety of roles for many years, and I especially enjoy middle schoolers! I can support students with a variety of social, emotional, and academic challenges through classroom lessons, small groups, and short-term, individual check-ins. I especially love working with queer and neurodivergent students.
In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my kiddo, reading, sewing, knitting, baking, and enjoying the natural beauty of the PNW.
