Therapy is writing your own story as we embrace the ‘self as inherently fluid’ and that all individuals are capable of crafting new and empowering stories that include a new sense of self. This is a healing journey, and I'm here to connect with you to explore together the trauma, grief, and other challenging life experiences that prevent you from healing, growing and living the fulfilling life you are seeking.

Hello! I am excited to meet you and work with you towards meeting your mental health goals. A little about me: I am a pre-licensed therapist working towards my master's degree in counseling at Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon. I am an avid runner, reader, and sourdough bread enthusiast, and enjoy getting outdoors with my spouse and toddler. I enjoy working with clients along a wide spectrum of issues, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, anger, and trauma.

I work with adults using the lens of complex trauma to help bring awareness into how one’s past may have shaped maladaptive behaviors of their present that could be causing life to be stressful and overwhelming. At the core of my work, I promote improving the relationship with oneself to maintain long-term healing. Patients who are motivated to improve their relationships, assertive communication and boundary setting skills, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves would be a good fit for the treatments I provide. I use CBT, attachment theory, inner-child work, some components of IFS, and EFT in my work.

As your therapist, I am committed to providing a safe space and welcoming environment for you to navigate life's highs and lows with professional support. I aim to understand your unique world and how it shapes you. I view you as the expert of your own life and am dedicated to creating a supportive and collaborative therapeutic environment where you can feel safe to explore, reflect, and grow. My approach incorporates internal family systems, solution-focused, emotion-focused, and strengths-based frameworks. Together, we will collaboratively explore your life to gain a deeper understanding of who you are and where you want to go.

I help women tend to the garden of their own life: celebrating bounty, navigating challenges, and moving through loss, while addressing needs across the lifespan. My nature-based behavioral health approach might be a good fit if you're seeking a safe, collaborative space to strengthen coping skills; grow healthy lifestyle behaviors; and cultivate intimacy with the natural world (in ways that work for you).

I specialize in working with people experiencing difficult life transitions. These may be adjusting to a disability, the death of a loved one, changes in family structure or employment among other things. I consider difficult life transitions to include times when we experience increased stress requiring changing coping skills. I create a safe and affirming environment for you to begin recognizing that you are not on this journey alone. By seeking counseling you have the opportunity to learn new information and patterns that no longer serve to move you in the direction you want to go.

I am currently accepting new clients! I work with teens, adults, and couples. I believe that counseling can provide a safe place to explore ourselves and our world in new and positive ways. The struggles of life can feel overwhelming at times, and having someone to journey through these challenges with allows for hope and growth, ultimately building a roadmap toward a more content and fulfilling life. It is an honor to be a part of each client's personal journey of restoration and freedom.

Currently Accepting New Clients! I believe that every human is unique and that therapy should be an empowering collaborative process. I am passionate about supporting other to create lives they want while honoring the strengths they already have. Identifying and building upon these strengths allows positive change to unfold. I have found that having a stable, trusted guide there to assist and support the growth process is crucial, and I bring this attitude to my practice. I greet each client where they are at with non-judgmental curiosity and gentle encouragement.

Are you overwhelmed with navigating pressures from family, culture and society? Is it hard to find someone who can understand the intersections of your identity and life experiences? My BIPOC clients often tell me about the emotional fatigue of trying to find a provider who can understand their complex narratives. They want tools that respect their heritage and cultural wisdom. If you see yourself in any of these struggles, I invite you to schedule a free consultation with me to reclaim and rewrite your story.

Are you curious about how counseling can help you? I enjoy working with people who would like to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and of the relationships in their lives. We work collaboratively to identify your priorities and therapy goals -- and to explore internal conflicts that may be getting in your way. When you feel heard and understood, you can start to discover the many unrealized facets of yourself, learn self acceptance and find clarity and purpose. Together we find meaning and direction.

I offer you my kindness, respect and years of my own dedicated self work. Listening, presence and experience is a big part of what I bring to our sessions. A lot of pain and trauma becomes unconscious. I work with you to understand the sources of the problem. We aim to understand the different parts of your self. We work to activate your highest or most authentic self. I also aim to heal the trauma in the body. I am Jungian based, using EMDR, mindfulness psychology, and somatic approaches, all to deepen your relationship to yourself.

I believe in the innate power in us to evolve and resolve. Sometimes when we are faced with challenging situations, our perspectives become hazy and we are unable to connect with our selves. I use eclectic and holistic modes of therapy to help people connect with their inner selves to move on in their lives and reach their full potential. I am trained in DBT, CBT, ACT and am also a Certified EMDR provider. I also completed an externship in Emotionally focussed Therapy for Couples as positive relationships are imperative for our emotional, mental health.

Are you caught in an unending cycle of feeling insufficient, regardless of your achievements or efforts? As you navigate various roles in your life – partner, friend, caregiver, parent/child, coworker, or manager do you constantly feel like you're falling short, despite your best efforts? Anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, and fear can be an overwhelming experience. You are “fine” and you’re waiting for that other shoe to drop. I specialize in helping adults struggling with trauma, grief, and life transitions by navigating intense emotions, finding peace, and rebuilding connections with themselves and others.

Who you are: You are motivated to do the hard inner work and ready to confront your own stuff. You understand that therapy also happens outside of our weekly meeting, and are prepared to implement what we talk about in session outside of session. You understand that therapy can feel hard at times, but continue to show up for yourself to do the work. You understand that therapy is not totally linear, it may feel a little yucky before it feels better. You are ready to feel supported, held and challenged.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Holistic Nutritionist. With my background in both disciplines, I believe strongly in looking at both the physical and mental factors that may be impacting a person's life. I worked for over 20 years in community mental health and private practice helping clients address anxiety, postpartum depression, food and body image struggles, divorce, ADHD, stress, depression, parenting, work/life balance and attachment. I feel the therapy room should be a safe, non-judgmental place to explore everything that is impacting your life.
