My Ideal Client

I help young adults who feel overwhelmed, lost, or stuck as they navigate the transition into adulthood. You may feel anxious, unmotivated, or disconnected—unsure how to move forward despite wanting more for yourself. If social media, pressure, or self-doubt has left you feeling like you're falling behind, I offer a supportive space to explore your goals and build a more grounded, purposeful path forward.

My Approach to Helping

We all seek meaning and purpose. I’ve found mine in supporting others on their journey. Whether you're facing specific mental health challenges or a general sense that “this isn’t where I want to be,” I offer a compassionate, collaborative space to explore what’s getting in the way and move toward the life you want. Drawing from personal growth, global experiences, and multiple careers, I integrate attachment theory, mindful self-compassion, solution-focused therapy, trauma-informed yoga, and positive psychology. I work with clients across Oregon and accept OHP and private pay. Reach out for a free consultation—I'd be honored to connect.

More About the People I Treat

I work with adults 18+, with a focus on young adults, late bloomers, creatives, highly sensitive people, and those navigating ADHD. My background as a college counselor and my lived experience help me connect deeply with clients facing the challenges of adulthood, identity, relationships, family dynamics, substance use, disordered eating, depression, and anxiety—especially post-COVID. I support clients in building self-compassion, healing attachment wounds, and finding their voice. I’m an LGBTQIA+ ally and offer a warm, inclusive space for growth and change. I accept cash pay and am out-of-network with UnitedHealthcare. I will be credentialed with MODA in the fall.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • Somatic Therapy (Body Centered) External link

    Sure! Here’s a version under 500 characters: --- I offer somatic therapy to support healing from body dysmorphia, diet culture, and trauma. Using evidence-based methods, including therapeutic yoga and somatic awareness, we work together to increase body awareness, understand your body’s signals, and gently unlearn patterns rooted in fear, pain, and anxiety.

  • Attachment Theory External link

    I believe that to heal we must feel, and that can be very scary to do alone or with a stranger. If you struggle with insecurity within yourself and relationships, connecting and building a trusting relationship with a therapist will take time. I utilize attachment and bonding interventions to holistically develop a trusted relationship between myself and the client to create a secure attachment.

  • Mindfulness-based External link

    For creatives and highly sensitive people navigating trauma, life transitions, or a deep sense of misalignment, I offer somatic therapy rooted in mindfulness and body awareness. Through stress-reducing practices, present-moment connection, and compassionate care, we gently support your healing and growth.

  • Humanistic  External link

    If it's a relationship issue, depression or anxiety, grief, or another of life’s many challenges, we all face times in our life where we feel overwhelmed and underneath the heaviness of life. Empathetic guidance and support can help us achieve our goals. I work with clients in an authentic and transparent manner, always applying my natural gifts of intuition, compassion and empathy.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Anxiety External link

    These are difficult, anxiety provoking times and we can all benefit from stress reduction, self compassion and self care. My approach to decreasing anxiety utilizes practical, everyday techniques to reduce the challenges of living with anxiety, panic and fears of the unknown and uncertain future. We will explore the upside of anxiety and decipher what it is saying to you.

  • Depression External link

    Having experienced depression since I was a teenager, I understand its challenges of shame, heaviness and isolation. Together, we will focus on developing self compassion and resilience, utilizing self awareness and mindfulness to better understand and explore limiting beliefs to decrease your experience of depression and self criticism. Depression is often a sign of anger turned inward. What are you holding in, holding back, needing to speak and process?

  • Body Image Issues External link

    Growing up in “diet-Culture” can leave us feeling less than loving towards our bodies. I understand. Whether it is disordered eating behaviors, body dysmorphia or shame about yourself, I can offer support. Utilizing therapeutic interventions, increased mind and body awareness and self compassion, we can become allies of our bodies and selves and heal the hatred and shame of being imperfect.

  • Personal Growth External link

    Are you curious about yourself, your patterns, and your relationships? Are you struggling with a mental health issue or addiction that you might need some support in addressing? All humans are faced with problems and challenges in their lives and therapeutic connection and support is helpful for the life you desire.

  • Loss or Grief External link

    In life, we will experience some form of loss, whether the passing of a loved one, the end of a relationship or friendship, or the loss of hopes and dreams. I believe that an empathic, resilient, strengths-based approach will eventually result in your ability to discover your silver lining and deeper insight into yourself. Through therapeutic healing, you will develop inner wisdom unique to yourself. I'm also very empathetic of pet loss and grief.
