My Ideal Client

Since 2014, I have been dedicated to supporting individuals across all age groups as they navigate a variety of mental health challenges. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use, I provide a safe, affirming space to help you make sense of these experiences and foster positive, lasting change.

My Approach to Helping

My therapeutic style is rooted in warmth, creativity, and directness. I blend affirmation with clear guidance, helping you build new, healthy dynamics in your relationships and daily life. Therapy is not just about addressing difficulties—it's about creating a space where you can grow, heal, and discover a stronger version of yourself. I believe deeply in the power of therapy to transform lives, and my approach reflects that belief. Together, we will work to help you understand your past, navigate your present, and build the future you deserve.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have worked in the behavioral health field since 2014. I have a Master of Social Work from Portland State University and a Master of Global Public Health from New York University. I also hold a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor in Oregon. I am a mother of four, wife, and co-parent. I love cooking, travel, dancing, and raising guide-dogs. I am often accomponied by a guide-dog-puppy in training. I am currently raising a Golden Retriever named Clara and a yellow lab named Vada.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Child or Adolescent Issues External link

    I work with adolescents (16+) facing substance use, mental health challenges, trauma, and homelessness through a non-judgmental, harm reduction, and strengths-based approach. My practice is focused on fostering resilience, self-determination, and emotional regulation. I prioritize building trust and safety, meeting youth where they are, and tailoring interventions to their unique needs, whether through motivational interviewing, DBT-informed strategies, or community-based advocacy.
