My Ideal Client

I provide individual therapy to adults (18+) on issues relating to: anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts and/or feelings, life stressors, self-criticism, perfectionism, and relationship dissatisfaction. Counseling should be engaging, thought provoking, and supportive. I also understand counseling can be painful at times. I am committed to being present alongside you during all these moments and to honor your exploration into where you have been, where you are, and where you would like to go.

My Approach to Helping

We can approach our work together using a variety of frameworks and I will adapt to meet your needs and preferences. I use frameworks such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Compassion Focused Therapy. You are the expert of your story and I strive to be a fellow traveler in our time together. To ensure we are moving in the right direction and honoring your experience, I will often seek out your feedback. At this time all counseling appointments will be conducted with a telehealth platform using phone or video conferencing applications.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor I (CADC I). I have been working in social services since 2012 and have been providing direct counseling support since obtaining my masters degree from Portland State Graduate School of Social Work in 2015. My style is person-centered, relational, and collaborative. I also value taking a curious and non-judgmental stance with all of my clients. A little bit about me and how I recharge outside of my therapy role. I enjoy spending time in nature, attending to my plants, playing with my dog, reading novels or comics, enjoying video games, and adventuring in the world of D&D.
