WELL, HI THERE!
I'm Gianna— Hello! I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada and have been in Portland since 2015 :)
I am a Therapist (LMFT) & Board Approved Supervisor, as well as an Adjunct Professor at Lewis & Clark, Portland State University, and the University of Portland. I’ve been told my teaching fashion gives Miss Honey or Miss Frizzle vibes (shoutout to Millennial nostalgia!)
I am a Past President of the Oregon Counseling Association, the Oregon Association for Counselor Education & Supervision, and COPACT, as well as a Past Chair of the American Counseling Association’s Western Region. Advocacy work is a passion of mine and it should be accessible to all of us! I’ve loved working with teams of clinicians and finally took a break in 2022-ish to do self care.
And because Self Care is Healthcare: I love watercoloring, embroidery, reading, traveling, trying new places to eat, spending time at the Oregon coast, watching Netflix/Apple TV/Hulu/etc, attending Thorns soccer games, and time with my spouse, family, & friends.
