My Ideal Client

I help clients examine all the relationships in their lives—whether with the self, others or even their vices. I specialize in helping clients by both validating and understanding their experience and in the same space being curious about how to navigate change. I believe in direct communication and that the relationship between therapist and client can foster growth. I work with clients working on substance use, grief, loss, relationships, personality traits and emotional disregulation.

My Approach to Helping

I am trained in dialectical behavior therapy with a focus on regulation emotions. If you ever feel like your emotions are in control and not you - we can work together to help problem solve how to regain a sense of control. I focus on person centered, solution focused relational therapy. For us to grow and change as people, its often in relation to others and we can use our time in therapy to foster growth and change within yourself. I have a deep respect for the bravery and courage it takes to reach out for help and I want to honor that you have started that journey! My role is to help clients examine all the relationships in their lives—whether with the self, others or even their vices. I embrace a solution-focused, client-centered perspective to help facilitate the process of change. I want to make your strengths shine.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that all of us have the power to change, we often just need help to get started. Growing up in the pacific northwest, I am intimately familiar with the culture of the region and how isolating we can feel in the world around us at times. I am hear to offer that support, encouragement and skills that can help you through a stressful time in your life.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Alcohol Abuse and Alcohol Dependence External link

    Recovery from a substance, vice or behavior can be a hard and impactful process that is often done best with additional support through therapy. As a licensed substance use counselor in Oregon and Washington I have provided therapy to many throughout the years who are starting or continuing along their own process of recovery.

  • Relationship / Marriage Issues External link

    Relationships are defining in many ways for our lives, whether we have challenges, positives or not enough relationships and I help clients explore how relationships impact their thoughts and emotions. By using DBT therapy we can examine how to regulate emotions in the face of challenges in our relationships with others and ourselves

  • Personal Growth External link

    Personal growth is a life long learning process. I am trained in different alternative treatments exploring psychedelic therapies or somatic therapies to practice growing and changing our lives.

  • Loss or Grief External link

    I worked for many years as a bereavement therapist in the community helping others through individual and group therapy to process and incorporate losses of all kinds. I often think of loss as a coin and on the flip side of the same coin is love.
