Hi there! My name is Halle and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Intern (#R5971). I'm also a Certified Gambling Addiction Counselor (CGACII). My clinical work is supervised by Lindsay McGrath, LMFT, who can be contacted at (503) 860-2239.
I am a Creole/African-American individual who grew up in a mixed-race household in the Bay Area, a setting that allowed me to observe how I was perceived within the context of my own family, and in the context of the world around me. My identity is a direct byproduct of the joining of privileged and oppressed identities, and allows for me to better identify the unique ways in which others navigate their relationships based on their own identity.

My Approach
|
My belief is that people are comprised of various identities which inform how they navigate their inner world, as well as the world around them. My practice is anti-racist, and I am sex-worker inclusive, sex-positive, and affirming of LGBTQ+ identities. All relationship and family structures are welcome in my practice.
My work is informed by the following modalities and theories:
