Work History
In graduate school, I volunteered and interned at Lewis and Clark’s Problem Gambling Services from September 2020 - July 2022. I hold a Masters of Art in Marriage, Couple and Family Therapy from Lewis and Clark College specializing in addiction recovery. Over the last 5 years I have attained my CGAC-II, CADC-I and QMHP-C credentials while focusing on integrated gambling and gaming treatment. Over the last year, I have been contracted to offer gambling trainings through the Oregon Health Authority's Problem Gambling Services in order to increase awareness of gambling's impact. Through a systemic lens, harm reduction and decolonizing approach (continually un/learning) I am passionate about integrating Narrative theory, Internal Family Systems, and SocioEmotional Relational Theory for a broader and culturally-specific understanding of a system and their context.
