My Approach to Helping

My approach to therapy involves a focus on mindfulness as well as somatic experiencing, while incorporating a variety of other, evidence-based techniques to best suit individual needs. In sessions this often means learning acceptance and other mindfulness skills, learning to connect the mind and body, processing emotions & past events, improving coping & communication skills, and increasing self-compassion. I provide a safe space for LGBTIQA identifying individuals and couples.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have a Master of Arts degree in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy from Lewis & Clark College. I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Portland State University. I worked in community mental health with individuals and families before starting a private practice. I have experience facilitating groups with both adults and children concerning a variety of mental health topics. I continue to educate myself on issues relevant to mental health and therapy through continuing education courses, readings, supervision and consultation.
