Hey 🙂 my name is Jesse (they/them) and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor. I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling from Portland State University in 2022.

As a therapist, I am warm, authentic and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when we’re working together to create a life worth living for you. I draw heavily from internal family systems, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and psychodynamic theory to support you in attaining your goals.

My therapeutic practice is based on respect for your individual needs and experiences. My goal as your counselor is to support your natural drive toward healthy living which involves discovering what health looks like and means to you as an individual. I’m here to help you increase your awareness of your core Self, your needs and capabilities all for the purpose of transmuting pain into something meaningful. As a fellow traveler, I would be honored to walk beside you in your journey to (re)discover joy, purpose and presence in your life.

As a White, Queer, temporarily able-bodied, educated trans and non-binary therapist, my intersecting identities play a complex role in my practice. It’s my goal to use my unique sociological position to disrupt systems of oppression including those I currently benefit from and perpetuate.

Outside of therapy, I spend my time painting, crafting, camping and loving my found family. I have a spiritual practice and believe in the transformative power of an animal’s love.
