Sometimes life can feel unmanageable, especially during this time when many people are struggling with loneliness and existential anxieties. I believe that people are doing the best they can with the information and skills they have. My goal is to support my clients as they move through these difficult periods of life. Therapy can be a powerful tool for healing and growth. As your therapist, I'll offer an open and and supportive environment to explore your thoughts, feelings, and relationships.

Welcome. If you are reading this I am guessing something isn't working in your life. You may be depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, scared, or shut down. You may not know how to communicate your needs to your partner, or deal with your own complicated emotions. Perhaps you are going through a divorce or other life transition. Life is full of twists and turns, many are unexpected and can throw a person off balance. It's ok. This is normal. The truth is that you don't have to do it alone. There is hope! You can find the way back to finding balance in life, work, and love.

You’ve tried all the meditations and deep breathing that you can find. But something is still causing a raging fire of not-so-fun anxiety, that’s just bebopping around in your mind all day. And it sucks. You do all the things in your day with a sense of panic, worry, and dread. And it’s bleeding into your job, relationships, self care, and all the life things you need to be doing. You feel it in your chest and stomach all day and it feels like some not-so-fun roller coaster ride you never signed up for.

Our time together starts by exploring your values and learning how we can make the therapy process align best with you, ironing out the wrinkles standing in your way. The significance that the change process has on all of us, and the universality in which we can all suffer, all heal, and all forge tools to maintain wellness in our lives is what's driven me through my over 7 years of clinical experience with adolescents and adults in outpatient, inpatient, residential, and groups settings. All of this informs the values of my practice: Collaboration, Creativity, Accountability, Acceptance, and Patience.

So much of life is learning to deal with the cards we’ve been given. I love seeing people not only deal with the cards they’ve been given, but turn them into amazing card castles. I want to help those that seek to get unstuck grow toward their best selves, have great relationships and enjoy lives filled with joy. I like to use well-researched therapeutic techniques that have been proven to help people grow. In couples therapy that means drawing from the research of John Gottman. In family and individual therapy that means an integrative approach - utilizing practical therapeutic tools that help clients achieve their goals.

Life tends to hand us some unexpected challenges that can catch us off guard, or even knock us off our feet. Grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions and relational hurts rob us of our peace, leave us feeling anxious, unable to make progress, and can challenge our core identity. I have extensive experience helping people through a wide range of challenges and struggles throughout my twenty years in pastoral care ministries. Processing the journey in a safe, supportive, trauma informed, environment sets the foundation for those experiences to make you stronger instead of chipping away at your heart.

Everyone wants to be heard. One of the most fulfilling experiences for us as individuals is to tell our story and have it heard. My first priority when working with a new client is to find a way for them to tell their story and then to hear/receive it and validate their feelings. People have a variety of ways for communicating their feelings and experiences, for this reason I utilize several different interventions to help the client share their story in a safe and comfortable environment. My services are available in English and Spanish. I also service Oregon and Idaho.

Have you tried talk therapy with some success but feel you are ready for something else? Have you tried to make changes, only to find yourself slipping back into old patterns that you know are not best for you? Have you ever thought, "I know better than this, so why am I still doing it?" Maybe you've even resorted to self-criticism, subconsciously hoping it would push you to improve. These methods are not only unsustainable, but they often end up causing even more harm in the long run. If this sounds like you, and you're ready for something different than talk therapy, you're in the right place.
