Those experiencing houselessness, depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, trauma, and developmental disabilities. Ages ranging from 13 years to 60 years old and in all walks of life. I identify as BIPOC, female, and as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am a native Oregonian and enjoy the great outdoors, books, and movies. I have lived in Houston, Texas for 2.5 years where I was a foster parent. Upon returning to Oregon I continued my journey as a foster parent. I have two children both whom are at very different stages in life. I have worked in the public education system at the high school level in various roles within the Special Education Program supporting students, staff, families, and other community members. With my personal and professional experience I believe I can support you in the healing and growth that you seek.
