My Ideal Client

I specialize in working with people who have had long-term or lifelong anxiety and depression. However, I see clients with a wide variety of concerns, including relationship struggles, self-esteem issues, shame, and trauma. Additionally, I often see clients with a diverse range of sexual orientations and gender identities, clients in non-monogamous relationships, and neurodivergent folks.

My Approach to Helping

I aim to create a safe, accepting, and non-judgmental place for you to explore your feelings and all parts of yourself. I work from psychodynamic and humanistic perspectives. This means that I will help you explore the ways your past experiences and relationships may affect your current ones, allowing you to change the patterns in your life that aren't working for you. Additionally, I will work with you as a whole and multifaceted person with all of your challenges, strengths, and complexities. I also help clients learn cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness skills as a supplement to the other work we do in therapy. These techniques can help you feel better quickly and may have powerful, positive ripple effects in other parts of your life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I received my doctorate in clinical psychology from Pacific University and completed my postdoctoral training at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have practiced both research and therapy with a variety of clients in university and community clinics in Oregon and Illinois. I'm also a queer professional, and I am passionate about social justice, mutual aid work, and climate activism.
