I entered into this profession with the needs of my younger self in mind. For nearly 10 years I have practiced as a peer support specialist in OR and WA with a Master's in Social Work. I’ve working towards my clinical licensure in an effort to match the current reality of funding and be more accessible within the public school system. Over the years, I worked to celebrate and center the knowledge that comes with lived experiences and from generational wisdom. I strive to co-foster a dynamic, regulated, and mutual space to explore the challenges and triumphs of your current situation.
