My Ideal Client

I help teens, adults, seniors and couples work through anxiety, trauma and life transitions. Helping them feeling more connected, grounded and like themselves again. Therapy with me is a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what you’ve been carrying. Together, we’ll work to: Understand patterns that keep you feeling stuck Learn how to regulate overwhelming emotions Build coping tools that actually work in your daily life

My Background and Approach

I know how hard it can be to open up, especially if you’ve felt misunderstood or had to carry things on your own for a long time. My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to filter yourself where you can show up exactly as you are and feel supported in making sense of it all. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have been providing therapeutic services since 2021. I am a Professional Counselor Associate (PCA) and practice under clinical supervision in the state of Oregon.

Why I Became a Therapist

I became a therapist because I’ve seen how meaningful it can be to feel truly listened to during life’s most challenging moments. I’m passionate about helping people feel less alone, more grounded, and more connected to themselves as they navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, PTSD, and life transitions. I don’t believe you are broken or in need of fixing. I believe healing happens when you feel understood, supported, and empowered to reconnect with your strengths. My role is to walk alongside you with care, curiosity, and respect as you move toward greater clarity, balance, and self-trust.

Techniques I Use

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Depression External link

    I support individuals struggling with low mood, lack of motivation, hopelessness, and emotional numbness. Together, we explore contributing factors such as life stress, trauma, identity, and self-talk. Therapy focuses on increasing insight, reconnecting with meaning, improving mood, and building sustainable routines that support emotional well-being.

  • Adjustment Disorder External link

    I support clients experiencing emotional or behavioral distress related to life changes such as loss, relationship shifts, health concerns, work stress, or major transitions. I help clients process the stressor, understand their emotional responses, and develop healthy coping strategies to regain balance, improve functioning, and build resilience during periods of change.

  • Anxiety External link

    I work with clients who experience chronic worry, panic, social anxiety, or nervous system dysregulation. Using CA-CBT and somatic techniques, I help clients understand anxiety patterns, reduce avoidance, and build practical tools for grounding, emotional regulation, and self-trust so anxiety no longer controls their daily life.

  • PTSD External link

    I work with adults who have experienced trauma, including complex or developmental trauma. My approach is trauma-informed and paced, integrating somatic work and CA-CBT to help clients understand trauma responses, reduce triggers, and build safety within the body. The goal is healing without re-traumatization and restoring a sense of control.

  • Relationship / Marriage Issues External link

    I help clients navigate relationship challenges including communication difficulties, boundary-setting, attachment patterns, conflict, and relational trauma. Whether the concern involves partners, family, or friendships, therapy focuses on increasing self-awareness, improving communication skills, and fostering healthier, more fulfilling connections with others.
