My Ideal Client

I work with clients all across Oregon to help them heal from abusive relationships, toxic family dynamics, narcissistic parents, partners, bosses, and/or religious groups. I offer therapy focused on self-rebuilding, relationship struggles, developing healthy boundaries, and discovering your healthier way to move forward as your most authentic self. If you're motivated toward change and ready to put in the hard work to create a sustainable path of healing for yourself, we are a good fit.

My Approach to Helping

Life is not simple. It can be really challenging to navigate, especially on our own. Have you found yourself having trouble coping with the challenges you face? Have traumas, relationships, societal standards, and systems left you with mazes of wounds that are seemingly never-ending? Whether you are new to seeking therapy or are an old friend of the therapeutic process, I am here to help. I am committed to creating the opportunity for you to have a non-judgmental, trauma-informed, inclusive, and affirming space to discover how you will progress through it all. I work through a Client-Centered lens with Internal Family Systems, Attachment Models & weight-inclusive perspectives. I believe each client has the innate ability to grow, transform, and heal in the therapeutic process. My work also includes DBT, CBT, Somatic/Mindfulness Therapies. Therapy is a collaborative process, so we will find out what works for you.
