Hello there! I am a woman of color and an intern counselor. I work with Cherie Skillings in Bend. My passion is really working with children aged 0-5 and their families. I believe that this period is one of the most critical of our lives. I also work with your family as it is growing- before, during and after pregnancy. By pregnancy I mean the time before a child comes. It includes IVF, adoption, and blending families.

I also have a special interest in working with children, adolescents, and adults, who have Type 1 diabetes.
My goal as a therapist is to assist you on your journey of self-awareness and personal discovery. I like to take a here-and-now approach during therapy and I also believe that understanding your present and being able to be fully aware of your thoughts and actions in the moment will help unlock and uncover unresolved issues from your past. I strongly believe in the concept of subjective reality. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clientele and have a special interest in working with adolescent and young adult females, and individuals and couples in areas of sexual intimacy.

Play therapy and family integration are vital elements of my practice when working with children and families.
I view therapy as an avenue to transform our pain into our teacher. My role is to provide a safe, trusting relationship for individuals to express themselves, explore their emotions, and probe their patterns and the systems in which they live.

My specialty is working with families, children, adolescents, and young adults! I have several years experience with this population as well as working with youth in crisis.
My goal as your therapist is to help you reach your full potential. Life is not always easy, and I help to navigate my clients through a variety of stage of life issues and changes that may come their way. I come from a family systems perspective where my focus is always on the family unit as a whole. I work with families and individuals from a holistic approach to help them discover their strengths, behavior patterns, and healthy solutions. I use evidenced-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Family Systems theory to provide effective and professional treatment to my clients.

I have an ongoing passion for working with young children and their caregivers to strengthen their relationships, develop positive communication and coping strategies, and increase overall wellness within the family unit.
We initially learn about relationships with others from our caregivers. In this way, positive parenting techniques as well as cyclic trauma can be generational. One thing that I have found to be true through my experiences working with children and families in various settings is that parents want their children to feel loved, seen, and valued. Caregivers are the experts on their children, and in partnering with them, I aim to provide an environment that encourages multi-generational healing, compassionate reflection, self-embodiment, and authentic connection to others.

Whether YOU, your spouse, or your adolescent child is experiencing depression/anxiety, the entire family may suffer.
These are extremely stressful times but you do not have to face it all alone. Depression and anxiety can lead, if left untreated, to isolation and self-destructive behaviors. Relationships may suffer and facing each day can feel overwhelming! In therapy, we work on restoring relationships. We work together to understand why you do what you do - then, change will come! Destructive patterns can be conquered. Trauma, stress, conflict, and great loss CAN lose their power. I love working with individual adults, families, couples, and teens who are ready to overcome their challenges.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults.
I believe we strive to do our best based on our life experiences, personal beliefs and values, resources we possess, and positive relationships we foster. Sometimes we don’t meet our own or others’ expectations, thus leading to struggles and challenges with mental wellness. We can end up stuck. Creating and maintaining positive connections with others, acknowledging and working through past issues and traumas, and learning new skills, perspectives, and narratives can lead us to personal acceptance and wellness.
