About Me.

My name is Pamela, and I am a therapist who seeks to bring my whole self into the counseling room. As a person with both privileged and marginalized identities, I am committed to honoring the nuances of race and ethnicity, the boundless expressions of gender and sexuality, and all abilities.

As someone who has historically struggled to find the right therapist, I feel passionate about co-creating an open and supportive space for those who previously felt therapy was not accessible or healing for them. My personal and academic foundation is grounded in social change through deconstructing systems of oppression for all.

I have received focused training in systems theories, identity development, child development, and relationship and family therapy. I am interested in working with children, adolescents, and adults on a variety of life issues, as well as supporting relationships in all forms.

I earned my master's in counseling from Portland State University with a focus on relationships and families. Before I identified as a therapist, I worked as a social worker for over a decade, an experience that continues to influence my practice and the way I see the world.

Together, let’s explore your present awareness, uncover more choice in your life, and experiment with the changes you seek.
