My Ideal Client

I work best with adults who think deeply about their lives but feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, depression, trauma or addiction. Many Clients arrive feeling conflicted, ambivalent, or disconnected from their inner compass. Often this is a sign that you care deeply about your life but feel unsure what direction to take next. Our work is collaborative, creative and insight oriented, helping you understand your patterns and move toward a life that feels more aligned.

My Approach to Helping

I work from an integrative perspective, drawing from person-centered therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindful Self-Compassion, and psychodynamic approaches. Together, we develop a shared understanding of the patterns and challenges you are navigating so our time in therapy can be focused and meaningful. Therapy with me is collaborative. You will have a strong voice in shaping the direction of our work and identifying what feels most important to explore. I support harm reduction approaches when working with substance use and believe meaningful change often begins with curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to understand yourself more deeply. I especially enjoy working with creative individuals and may incorporate reflective or experiential approaches such as writing, imagery, symbols or other creative tools in when helpful.

My Values as a Therapist

My practice is guided by an idea I learned as an actor: "Really talk, really listen." I believe meaningful therapy begins with presence, curiosity, and honest dialogue. My goal is to create a space where you feel respected, heard, and able to explore difficult questions about your life. Much of my work focuses on co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns. I also work with many adult children of alcoholics, addicts and complicated family systems. I spent 5 years working in residential substance use treatment and continue to support clients using harm reduction and recovery oriented approaches. I earned my master's degree Professional Mental Health Counseling - Addictions and Lewis & Clark College and I completed a post-graduate certification in Trauma Informed Care at Portland State University. In my spare time I like to sing, read, and occasionally indulge in a good doom scroll. If you're curious whether we might work well together, I'd be glad to talk with you.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • Motivational Interviewing External link

    Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation with a focus on evoking change. It respects an individual's personal autonomy while clarifying barriers to success. It is a way of working through the discomfort of ambivalence, a frenemy of the change process.

  • Psychodynamic  External link

    Psychodynamic therapy explores how past relationships and experiences shape present patterns. Understanding these patterns can create new possibilities for change and self-understanding.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • PTSD External link

    Living with PTSD can be exhausting and isolating. I focus on helping clients understand how trauma affects the brain and body while building skills for emotional regulation and social engagement. This approach helps you feel more connected with yourself and others.

  • Personal Growth External link

    Many thoughtful people seek therapy not because something is "wrong," but because they feel stuck in cycles of overthinking or self-doubt. You may look capable on the outside while feeling caught in your own head on the inside. Therapy creates space to slow down, understand your patterns, and move toward a life that feels more aligned with who you are.

  • Early Recovery External link

    So... you've just changed your life. Now what? Navigating the deep and murky waters of early recovery can feel treacherous. Connecting through individual or group therapy can help keep you afloat in this transitional time.

  • Depression External link

    Depression shows up in many forms: sadness, irritability, numbness, or feeling permanently stuck. Together we work to understand what is fueling the depression and create pathways toward relief and renewed engagement with life.

  • Alcohol Abuse and Alcohol Dependence External link

    Drinking often begins as a way to cope but can gradually take over more space than intended. I support clients exploring their relationship with alcohol and other drugs. I work with people who are questioning their relationship with alcohol, as well as those already committed to recovery. I support a range of approaches including harm reduction, 12-step programs, SMART recovery, and personally defined paths toward change.
