I grew up on the east coast but moved to Oregon to attend college and have not left the northwest since. I have spent nearly 25 years working with children and families.  

  

My experience includes:

​

• Providing mental health services to teens at a local high school.  

• Acting as a parent coach/educator since 2011.  

• Working within the foster care system and with foster parents/kids.

• Providing case management and support to teen parents.  

• Parenting my own children (a daily adventure!)

 

My varied experiences has provided me a breadth of familiarity with the many issues teens face.
