My Education and Experience

I completed the Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling from Portland State University in Portland, Oregon. Major coursework included studies in Ethics, Social Justice, and Clinical Skills. My undergraduate degree is in Social Science from Portland State University.

During my counseling practicum, I worked at the Portland State University Community Counseling Clinic, providing weekly counseling services to clients with general mental health concerns, such as: depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, relationship conflict, and family trauma.

I hold an Equitable Care Certificate guided by AASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists) which is a certification of training and education that facilitates equitable care through the lens of sex worker affirmation, awareness, and support.
