Hello, and welcome to our wonderful world of virtual counseling! This is a year that has started out very interesting and one that we have an opportunity to learn and unlearn from.
Since we do not have an opportunity to get to know each other in person, I wanted to give you all a chance to learn a little about myself. I am born and raised in Colorado, I moved to Oregon for 5 years to get my Masters Degree. I moved with my doggo Doji. She is my best friend and has made two, 1200 mile road trips with me. She is a champ. I have a 6 month old son, he is starting to crawl, and getting into everything. I got into counseling after working at a residential facility, where I discovered that I had a unique set of skills that helped me connect and listen to others. My calm, demeanor, and "familiar face" definitely helps with this. This lead me to pursue a degree in school counseling. I wanted to be in a position that helped prevent students from getting into a situation that lead them to living in a residential facility.
When I am not working I enjoy spending time with family, playing disc golf, and enjoying tasty foods! Please feel free to send me an email or sign up to see me even if you feel like things are going well, it is always nice to get to know you when things are going well too! I especially like learning about new music. I look forward to see what the rest of this year looks like, and will continue to learn and grow along with you all!
