Our
Values
Community
Everything comes back to the community. As humans, we are born, develop, thrive, and reside in communities. Neighborhoods, schools, places of worship, hospitals, families, and service organizations all create a fabric of belongingness and connection. These connections inform our behavior and support us in hard times. The strength of our connection to the community informs our mental well-being and our capacity.
Innovation
In the words of Octavia Butler: “God is change”. The shifting needs of the world around us place daily demands on our minds and bodies. It is through adapting to these changes that we can make a difference in our communities. Innovation is vital to the success of organizations as the nature and makeup of their service populations change over time.
Diversity
Multiple perspectives grow strong communities. Diverse perspectives and experiences help our communities - both small and large - to thrive and support newcomers. Embracing the diverse viewpoints that surround us can support our own growth as leaders, professionals, and humans.
“Leadership is action, not position”
- Donald McGannon
Born and educated in the Midwest, Oregon has come to be my adopted home for 20 years. My family and community are rooted in the mid-Willamette Valley of western Oregon and my work spans much of the state.
I am a clinician, educator, supervisor, and problem solver. Spanning rural, suburban, and urban spaces, I have worked across nearly every aspect of the human services, education, and behavioral health fields. From the trenches of direct care to the board room, I have learned our most important resource is people. Relationships and connections make the difference between success and struggle. We are human-serving professionals and that means we need to put humans first.
I am committed to connecting with people as people and then working with them to grow by writing their own stories. I am dedicated to supporting clients of my therapy work and professional consulting to center humanness in our work. I am committed to hard work, emotional vulnerability, and a society where we all can belong. These values are part of all of my work, regardless of setting.
