My Ideal Client

**Two in-person openings on Fridays in West Linn, two virtual openings Monday-Wednesday** I support people experiencing post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns, as they rediscover their own powerful wisdom and learn to trust themselves. In particular, I often support people in building self-esteem, overcoming social anxiety, creating stronger boundaries, forming the relationships they want, and giving themselves permission to be who they truly are.

My Background and Approach

I use a person-centered and trauma-informed approach to offer therapy customized to your unique identity, background, culture, gender, sexuality, neurology, and needs as a client. My approach is informed by my formal training in psychodynamic counseling and also by my own spiritual path, including a residency at a Buddhist monastery and plant medicine ceremonies.

More About the People I Treat

Oftentimes, people come to therapy with with limiting beliefs about themselves, including shame and hopelessness. Unfortunately, sometimes the the mental health world itself plays a role in creating these limiting beliefs for clients. If you feel your problems are too big, or your mind is too broken, or you have been given a diagnosis that feels limiting, I want to encourage you to reach out! I offer approach that is inclusive and non-stigmatizing. I focus on building a therapeutic relationship that meets your unique needs and preferences and allows your to do your best work of self-discovery and healing.
