My Ideal Client

My ideal client is open, motivated for change, and curious to explore themselves!

My Approach to Helping

My approach to counseling is person-centered and integrative, drawing interventions from multiple modalities depending on the individual needs, cultural background, and presenting issues of each client. The theories I primarily draw from include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassionate Inquiry. My goal as a counselor is to help you function optimally in all aspects of life by providing a safe space, unbiased viewpoints, challenging prompts, and kindhearted inquiries. I believe everyone possesses innate wisdom and powerful healing within themselves, and through collaborative therapeutic efforts we can access those qualities within to help you lead a fulfilling and fun life.

Techniques I Use

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Anxiety External link

    Most of my clinical experience has focused on anxiety and I feel confident in being able to provide tools that can help you manage it. As someone with an anxiety disorder myself, I can also relate to how disabling and overwhelming it can be!

  • ADHD External link

    I have personal and professional experience with ADHD and finding ways to make your life easier to manage, more tailored to your unique brain chemistry, and less stressful.

  • Women's Issues External link

    Hormones can wreak havoc on our mental health, I have personal and professional experience to issues related to PMDD, periods, pregnancy, early motherhood, menopause, etc. I’m here to support you through giving yourself the grace you need to feel more at peace during these difficult times. I also approach counseling with an understanding of the unique cultural and systemic oppression women face, both historically and currently.

  • Compassion Fatigue External link

    I’ve worked in an ER as support staff for the last 5 years so I can relate on a personal level to those in caring professions that are burnt out.

  • LGBTQ Issues External link

    I was trained by and am currently supervised by a prominent LGBTQ+ therapist and advocate in the Portland area, Alyssa Moore, LPC. I also identify as bisexual and am a passionate ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.
