My Approach

I support clients in increasing positive communication skills, creating healthy boundaries, improving relationships, and in processing past challenging experiences. I have extensive experience in working with individuals who have experienced sexual abuse, domestic violence, depression, and anxiety. My practice centers on creating a safe space through being inclusive and affirming to all humans by paying particular attention to each individual’s experiences and life story. I embrace working with people from diverse backgrounds and who identify on the LGBTQ spectrum.

My Background

My personal experiences combined with my love of learning, teaching, and my desire to better understand the human experience guided me to becoming a therapist. I completed both my Master’s of Education and Master’s of Counseling in Clinical Mental Health from Portland State University. Many of my professional experiences help to provide a broad foundation for my work as a therapist. My experience as a yoga instructor continues to connect me to the importance of having a holistic approach in working with each individual. My work, spanning from working with survivors of domestic violence to being in a community mental health agency, provided me with direct experience in managing crisis, creating safety, and, supporting healing. I honor the resilience in us all.
