My Approach to Helping

I have a Master of Social Work degree and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Oregon & Washington. I am a Certified Anxiety and Trauma Treatment Provider & LGBTQ+ Affirming: I Specialize in Women's Mental health, focused on perinatal/postpartum, infertility, infant/pregnancy loss (including abortion), menopause; as well as life transitions, divorce, PTSD, life challenges, grief/loss of a loved one & pets. My focus is to partner with you to help identify what issues are interfering with your daily life. I provide a safe, neutral space, while listening to your concerns, focusing on how together we can best work to meet your therapeutic goals and customizing a treatment plan using multiple treatment modalities which are tailored to you and your current needs. I utilize a variety of techniques derived from CPT, CBT, DBT, Solution Focused, ACT, Evidence Based, Mindfulness, Interpersonal and Person-Centered therapies.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in equality for all folks (it's not pie). I believe we all deserve love, respect and support. I believe that no human is illegal and no one human is better than another. I believe that most people are good and decent, trying to do the best they can. I believe that learning is life-long, and reading is fundamental. I believe that you deserve to feel happy. About me... I am a twice divorced mother of 6 grown children, have 3 amazing rescue pups, love reading and enjoy visiting the Oregon coast, watching movies and playing video games. I grew up in Eugene and have been in the Portland area since 2011.
