My Approach to Helping

I am a graduate student in the Professional Mental Health Counseling Addictions specialization program at Lewis and Clark College. My approach is strongly influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which is a mindfulness-based approach that attempts to build a non-judgmental relationship with your thoughts and feelings. Additionally, my approach centers on a multicultural and social justice orientation—meaning that our conversations will include your cultural identities and social locations as well as the broader contexts of your lived experience.

My Values as a Therapist

I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow, change, and evolve throughout various stages of their life. My goal as a therapist is to help facilitate accessing those capacities that are already within you while also being mindful of systems that place too much responsibility on the individual. I hope to create a space where you feel safe, cared for, respected, and welcomed to explore deeper layers of that experience. I believe that change occurs when we can create a compassionate relationship with all parts of ourselves. Through an integrative approach, I will encourage clients to create meaningful change by embracing uncertainty, fostering psychological flexibility, and promoting the embodiment of their authentic selves.
