Coupling empathy, creativity, and compassion, with evidenced-based practice, I address a variety of mental health issues including adjustment issues/life transitions, anxiety and depression, PTSD, shame, adolescent and women's issues.

Life doesn't come with a road map for success. Therapy is like a compass to help navigate the twists and turns along the way. If you are seeking change, are ready to take responsibility for the road ahead, and are prepared to meet the heights and depths of transformation, I can offer insight and new ways to consciously take the reins. You may find hidden treasures within that were buried and forgotten and learn how they influence your thinking and ways of being. I offer experience and training in a spectrum of modalities to teach new practices that open to fresh perspectives that may lead to growth for lasting change.

I hold space especially for Adult (18+) Women, Black people, Indigenous people, other people of color, LGBTQIA+, and gender-expansive people.
Accepting Care Oregon/OHP clients only at this time! The recent loss of a close friend was a blunt reminder that tomorrow is not promised. A blunt reminder that being present and in the moment is all that we truly have. Many of us wrestle with events of the past or fear about tomorrow but, in the meantime, we often forget that we have the ability - choice - to grab hold of the moment we are in with everything we have and make it truly and wonderfully ours. We get a say in what that moment will be: happy, sad, angry, tormented, funny, quiet, loud. I specialize in midlife support for women: life transitions, mental health & menopause.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
