Clinical Mental Health Graduate Intern

Supervisor: DeLyn Griffin, MA, LMFT (License #T3119)

Currently accepting new clients. I work with children, teens, adults, couples and families.

Life seldom progresses without its challenges. We all need support from time to time and finding the right fit in the therapy room is important. My core goal is to develop a team environment and to create a place of healing. This is accomplished through respect, understanding, and inclusivity. I sincerely want this office to be a place where you belong, a place where you feel valued, and place where you can feel safe.

I welcome the opportunity to work alongside children, teens, adults, couples, and families. In addition, I spent the bulk of my career working in fire and emergency medical services. I am uniquely keyed into the ways first responders think, and I understand the culture of these industries. I am also passionate about helping those who have experienced trauma across the lifespan. We can work together to explore living with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more. As said before, my main aim is to serve all with dignity and respect.

My wife and I are proud to live in the Hayhurst Neighborhood of Portland with our German Shepherd (Sparky) and our two cats (Smokey & Bear). I’m an enthusiast for good Mexican food, love working with my hands, enjoy time with family and travel often.
