My Approach

Using an integrated mix of narrative, creative-expressive, experiential and mindfulness-based practices, I work from a non-dogmatic "five bodies" framework. In this perspective, I understand each person to have five distinct-but-integrated bodies: a physical body, energetic (or pranic) body, a mental-emotional-psychological body, a body of belief and narrative, and a spiritual body. All of these play a role in developing and maintaining emotional and psychological wellness. My approach helps you develop greater self-understanding and self-compassion, as well as mastering meaningful and personal self-care practices, so that our work together puts you on the path toward a lifetime of wellness, rather than long-term reliance on therapy or psychiatric medications.

My Background

Practicing as a counselor since 2007, I have developed expertise in working with trauma, grief & loss, traumatic bereavement, depression, anxiety, PTSD and other trauma concerns, life-altering or life-ending health conditions, mid-life and aging concerns, LGBTQ issues and more. Before earning my master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Lewis & Clark College in 2008, I worked as a graphic designer and journalist. The latter provided exposure to people from all walks of life and often gave me a front-row seat to personal and community traumas, all of which expanded and deepened my understanding of and compassion for humanity. I am licensed to practice counseling in both Oregon and Washington, and I am a member of the Northwest Association of Death Education and Bereavement Specialists.
