My Approach

I take an approach based on building a relationship with my clients where I remain present, in tune with, and paying attention to personal themes. Working on accessing core feelings, building the ability to tolerate these feelings, and focusing on what is effective in our life. I bring enthusiasm and creativity to this work, and I love being with and offering support to people. When someone is truly with us, to understand and hear us in all our strengths and shortcomings, we feel hope. The hope that we can find peace and acceptance in our sometimes chaotic lives drives my work. I am consistently inspired by the courage and strength that my clients have shown in our work. I have experience working with people going through life changes as well as working on severe mental health issues, addiction, and trauma related work. I have a laid back and personal approach, and I am also going to offer you honest and direct feedback.

My Background

My experience is working at various levels of care in our health and mental health systems. I have experience working at a pain management center. I specialize in Chronic Pain, Trauma, and Couples/Families. I have extensive trainings in my fields of practice, as well as a personal passion for my work which leads me to various books and teachers who I identify with. Thich Nhat Hanh, Peter Levine, Phd, Stephen Porges Phd and Gabor Mate, MD are among teachers and authors that I have found inspirational. In my personal life, I am in my own process. I have lived in Portland most of my life. I am married with 2 children. I have a deep appreciation for my family and friends, the outdoors, staying active, great food, and good music.
