A LITTLE ABOUT ME...

Hello! I am in my first year at Ockley Green as a social worker. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been working with youth and families since my 20s in various roles from after school programs, classroom assistant, group homes, and even early education for several years.  Since completing my MSW I have worked in intensive community and home based programs providing crisis and family stabilization support. I also worked in a school based program in which I was a community partner on a school campus in North Clackamas School District. I then decided to try a change and moved over to private group practice in 2021 when I worked with adults individually for the first time. And now I am here! I am excited to be here and to get the opportunity to work with such diverse youth, families, and staff.

I love middle schoolers!  I have great appreciation for where they are in their development and life and all of the "weird" going on lol.  It's a critical time for them and I am honored to be able to be a part of their lives at this times in their lives. 

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my ridiculous cat, Kique, spending time with friends, and doing activities that help me with physical strength. I also enjoy Chinese medicine treatments such as cupping, acupunture, and reflexology massage.
