My Ideal Client

I love working alongside clients who feel stuck and helping them move forward. Sometimes we feel lost with navigating a life transition like exiting or entering college, leaving a relationship or moving to a different city. I work frequently with trauma and dissociation, from childhood or recent events. I am passionate with working with neurodivergent clients and the LGBTQ+ community. I also have a lot of experience working with depression and anxiety.

My Approach to Helping

My approach has been described as gentle, compassionate, supportive while staying focused on your goals. I use a person-centered approach taking into account a client’s cultural background and oppression they may experience from society. I am EMDRIA certified in EMDR therapy and trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that choice and going at your own pace are essential in therapy to build trust. I have tools and skills to support you, but you are the expert on your lived experience. I also enjoy hiking, reading, and spending time with my dog and cat in my free time. I believe in giving back and being connected to community through volunteering and try to volunteer with friends often. Scheduling in person clients Wednesday mornings in person. in SE Portland in Mid to late August and telehealth Thursday mornings mid to late August
