My Ideal Client

I am currently accepting clients for therapy and autism evaluations, as well as supervisees (LPC and MFT associates in both Oregon and Washington) for both individual and group supervision.

My Approach to Helping

I work from a client-centered and collaborative foundation, supporting individuals looking to process and heal from trauma, develop further personal insight, improve relationships with self and others, and explore opportunities for growth, empowerment, and deepened quality of life. As a therapist I bring empathy, intuition, and humor into session and integrate trauma-informed, attachment-focused, anti-oppressive, neurodiverse-affirming, and feminist frameworks into my clinical approach. I utilize EMDR, parts-work, interpersonal neurobiology, somatic, narrative, creative expression, ecotherapy, and mindfulness-based approaches in my work with clients. All of my work is rooted in the belief that health and wellbeing are a right and not a privilege and I am so grateful to join each of my clients along their journeys of growth and healing.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My decision to become a therapist was informed by many things: studying human stories through the lens of creative writing and narrative structure, working with refugee families as an AmeriCorps volunteer, supporting teens at a therapeutic boarding school in the Sapphire Mountains of Montana, and my own lifelong journey of trauma recovery, growth, and healing. I am a white, cis, queer, neurodivergent woman, and in the rest of my life I love spending time in nature, being with my sweet dogs and sassy cat, traveling, and diving into my new love of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • EMDR External link

    EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) can be used alone or integrated with other therapies to treat trauma, reduce distress, and provide significant psychological and somatic relief for clients. I am EMDR Certified and consider EMDR to be an incredibly effective and powerful tool for healing. For more information go to: http://www.emdria.org/

  • Relational  External link

    A relational approach in therapy highlights how our relationships with ourselves, others, and our world impact our overall wellbeing and happiness. I prioritize our therapeutic relationship in order to provide you with a safe space to explore changes within yourself and practice new ways of connecting with others and the world. I also draw from an interpersonal neurobiology framework, which understands the human experience through the integration of the brain, the mind, and relationships.

  • Narrative  External link

    Narrative therapy examines the ways we are influenced by the stories we tell about our selves and our lives. When we explore these narratives and our ability to retell our stories in new ways we realize a powerful opportunity for healing. I have found narrative therapy to be an incredibly effective therapeutic tool -- fun, creative, and transformative.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Autism External link

    In addition to psychotherapy and clinical supervision, I provide neurodiversity-affirming comprehensive assessments for Level 1 Autism in adults as a member of the Empower Psychological provider team (https://www.empowerwhoyouare.com). I also support adults processing and integrating an adult diagnosis of autism through ongoing therapy.

  • PTSD External link

    I work with PTSD and complex trauma through an integration of multiple modalities including EMDR, parts-work, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and attachment-focused therapy. Together these approaches blend the science of neurobiology and the brain, personal narrative, and somatic experiences to allow for healing of your whole system, building safety and connection within your mind and body, and the world around you.
