My Approach

My work is trauma-informed and client-centered. I search for and capitalize on the internal resources and collective strengths of relationships, families, and individuals to bolster their efforts throughout the change process. I see therapeutic change as a necessarily collaborative process, honoring the expertise of each individual in their own experience. I truly believe that each individual, relationship, and family has the ability to heal, grow, and feel deep satisfaction in their lives.

I primarily use Internal Family Systems and Emotion Focused Therapy theories and methods to inform my therapy. I seek to guide clients in uncovering core emotional and attachment needs influencing the patterns of thought and behavior that keep them feeling stuck. My practice centers around self-reflection and exploration and I find that clients truly take out of the experience what they put into it.

My Background

I earned a Master’s degree in marriage, couple, and family therapy from Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling. I have experience in individual, relationship, and family therapy. I also have specific experience working with domestic violence survivors, people going through gender/sexual transition, and “explosive” children and their families.

I offer poly, kink, and LGBTQIA affirming therapy and am knowledgeable about the unique challenges of members of these communities. I also offer non-judgmental and affirming counseling to adults engaging in sex-work and similar fields.
