My Approach to Helping

Whether you are new to seeking therapy or are well-versed with the process, I am committed to creating a warm and respectful space to support your sense of self and potential for growth. I work with individuals including teens and adults. Do you find it difficult to cope with the challenges of family, work, or school? Has a recent circumstance caused you to feel lost or uncertain? Have your past traumas distorted your self-view as someone who is broken or unworthy? You can heal and I’m here to help. Together, we’ll build upon the talents and skills you already have to reach your future goals.

More About the People I Treat

I earned a M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Lewis & Clark College. My therapeutic philosophy is cognitive behavioral while drawing from strength-based practices. I am trained in trauma-informed approaches such as ACT, EMDR, & MBCT. Part of our work will be to identify barriers while maintaining your health and safety. Being that the therapeutic relationship is essential to this work, I offer free initial consultations to see if I can provide the support you need. I currently work with clients who live in Oregon. I look forward to hearing from you.
