My Ideal Client

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and other people? Do you have a hard time putting your needs first? Is your anxiety making it hard to do the things you love? Do you wonder if life should feel this hard? Now more than ever, people are feeling lonely, disconnected, anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how to handle life. Pushing your needs away and not having a sense of self can lead to exhaustion and long-term effects on your mind and body.

My Approach to Helping

At Pearl River Counseling, we offer a customized approach to each client. We start by understanding your current challenges and then put a plan in place to help you move forward. We offer therapy around childhood wounds, music therapy such as The Safe and Sound Protocol for trauma, Parts work, and Accelerated Experiential therapy to facilitate healing. Our passion is helping people live better, more fulfilling lives. This might mean learning to set boundaries, working through life transitions, or getting unstuck from behavioral patterns. Our goal is to facilitate lasting healing. Contact us today for a free consultation, and we’ll get started on your journey together.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I'm a proud dog mom hailing from the Pacific Northwest, passionate about embarking on various adventures such as kayaking, hiking, motorcycle riding, and indulging in glamping. While I maintain a moderate dedication to weight lifting, my true devotion lies within exploring the vibrant culinary landscape of Portland. I have a voracious appetite for learning, particularly through nonfiction books. During my leisure hours, I enjoy immersing myself in DIY home improvement projects, aspiring to be a competent house fixer-upper.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • Biofeedback External link

    I am a certified LENS Neurofeedback Provider. LENS is The Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS) is an EEG-based, direct neurofeedback system that stimulates the brain to reset itself and achieve optimal performance. LENS works with anxiety, depression, concussion symptoms, fatigue, PTSD and more. It does not require conscious effort and attention to stimuli by the client. Sessions last, on average, a few seconds to minutes each. The number of sessions, on average, hovers around 11.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Autism External link

    I provide the Safe and Sound Protocol for those on the Autism spectrum. This is an incredible tool to help calm the nervous system stimulating the vagus nerve through filtered music. The SSP allows for the repatterning of neural networks and improved regulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) for lasting change. SSP is suitable for children and adults, with symptoms of trauma, anxiety, sensory processing differences, and much more.

  • Anxiety External link

    I specialize in treating various anxiety disorders like GAD, social anxiety, and panic disorder. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies tailored to individuals' needs, like Parts work and mindfulness. I also prioritize addressing the broader impact of anxiety on daily life and relationships. My goal is to empower individuals to manage their symptoms effectively, fostering resilience and improved quality of life.
