My Approach

I specialize in treating trauma. Whether you feel like you have way too much trauma or not enough, I want to hear your story, help you identify and strengthen your internal resources, and ultimately assist you in processing your past trauma. Our work together will also focus on helping you become a more mindful, self-aware, self-compassionate, and resilient version of yourself. I often use a blend of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and traditional talk therapy in my practice. EMDR can help you process your traumatic memories with less risk of being retraumatized by them. I also have specialty training in disability, chronic illness, grief, and loss. I often work where trauma, disability, and grief and loss intersect.

My Background

I have a Master of Science in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling from Portland State University, a dual track program in clinical mental health counseling and rehabilitation counseling. I'm a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC), which means I have specific education, experience, and training in disability and chronic illness. I am also a National Certified Counselor. I completed my practicum at a community counseling clinic and my internship at a federal re-entry center for individuals who were released from prison. I love working in private practice and would be happy to speak with you via video, phone, or secure email to see if we would be a good fit.
