Currently, I work full-time for a non-profit providing community-based therapy to transitional age youth in the Portland Metro Area. I have over 10 years of experience working with children and youth. A large portion of my work has been in the public school systems in Baltimore City, San Francisco, and Portland. In these schools I have worked with 1st through 12th graders of all abilities. I have a passion for working with youth who are on the autism spectrum and intend on focusing my career on the intersection of developmental disabilities and mental health. In my many different roles as counselor, teacher, coach, babysitter, and aunt I find myself motivated by three things: 1) safety to explore/ express/ be themselves without judgement 2 modeling positive behaviors - communication, listening, respect, empathy, etc. 3) sharing laughs I am looking to help out every once in a while so some mamas/papas/parents/guardians can Read more get time to do you and in return you are giving me the opportunity to pay off my student loans in a reasonable amount of time : )
