She/Her/Hers

Jill became a social worker because she wanted to help people. It’s a cliché, but it’s true! Her best experiences as a social worker are when she works with a client to create, adapt, or improve a coping strategy and sees the client improve their own quality of life. Jill hopes everyone figures out what their best life looks like and helps them achieve it.

Before becoming a therapist, Jill worked as a social worker and mental health coordinator for adults with cystic fibrosis. She has also served as a social worker for hospice and memory care assisted living. In addition to social work, Jill has held a variety of odd jobs, such as Lyft driver, stylist for Stitch Fix, and bookseller for a bookstore.

Jill has lived in Bend since 2023. She was drawn to the area's beauty and access to the outdoors. Jill has family nearby and was excited to experience seasons other than summer (when you live in Texas for multiple decades, it can feel like summer is never-ending!). She enjoys quilting, knitting, traveling, photography, reading, and pet-sitting.

Jill is honored to serve people seeking to improve their quality of life.
