My Ideal Client

Is something holding you back from living your best life? Maybe you struggle with worry, sadness, stress, or loneliness. Maybe you are facing an overwhelming life transition. Or maybe you are waging a battle with your own body. My ideal client may come to therapy with any of these concerns. What makes someone my ideal client is their willingness to show up, be authentic, remain curious, and engage in the challenging, messy, and rewarding work of self-discovery.

My Approach to Helping

I believe that our early life experiences profoundly shape us, in ways that can be both healthy and unhealthy. I also believe that we can reveal our patterns, expose our pain, and heal our wounds, allowing us more choice in how we think, feel, and act. My aim is to help you explore your authentic self, enrich your relationships, and embrace life’s transitions. My approach is person-centered and honors you as the expert of your own experiences and goals. I incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a mindfulness-based orientation that helps you create a more fulfilling life by encouraging you to live in alignment with your values. I also use Restoration Therapy, which emphasizes attachment theory and examines patterns of love and trust in families. My background as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist taught me to value Health at Every Size® and intuitive eating and sparked my passion for helping individuals struggling with disordered eating and negative body image.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I embarked on a second career in counseling in midlife because I believe in the healing power of therapy. I believe therapy works because it has worked for me. I also believe that every individual or couple who sits with me deserves my full attention and nonjudgmental kindness. My goal is to provide compassionate care to all clients, regardless of any identities or experiences we may or may not share. I strive to provide affirming care to clients who belong to the LGBTQ+ community and a size-inclusive space to clients living in larger bodies. My roots are in Oregon. I was born and raised on the Oregon coast and have lived most of my adult life in Portland. My husband and I have one son in college, two dogs, and lots of dreams for future travels. My happy place is an afternoon nap with one (or two) dogs curled up next to me. I enjoy tennis, podcasts, freshly baked cookies, strong coffee, and even stronger relationships.

Techniques I Use

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Body Image Issues External link

    I work to counter negative body image through an examination of the roles of historical oppression, cultural messages, and internalized bias. My goal is to help clients shift from a negative to a positive body image through specific activities and discussions designed to engage with these important topics.

  • Eating Disorder External link

    I have a deep understanding of eating disorders that emerges, in part, from my background as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and, in part, from my second career in mental health counseling. I appreciate the nuances of disordered eating/eating disorders, recognizing that a client's eating disorder serves a purpose in their life, however destructive it may be. My goal is to help clients understand the function of their eating disorder, address core conflicts, and build helpful skills.

  • Women's Issues External link

    I have a helpful understanding of a variety of women's issues. These include physical health concerns such as pregnancy and postpartum care, infertility, and menopause, as well as current sociocultural challenges facing women. I am passionate about supporting women find balance and incorporate self-care amid the seemingly never ending demands of family, school, career, and community.
