Individual, Group, Family, Couples counseling.

We all have our own story, the things that make us unique in the tapestry of human experiences. What motivates me in counseling people is how we cope with trauma, overcome adversity, and our resilience in the face of difficult circumstances. Finding a way to create meaning, and live a full authentic life is central to my goals in supporting clients. I focus on existential and feminist frameworks to support clients in developing their sense of worth and purpose in life. Working with me we will address attachment and relational dynamics, boundaries and the patterns present in your life that may be keeping you “stuck.”

I have taken my clinical training combined it with decades of experience and tested and tried my theories by accomplishing what many people would deem impossible feats of endurance. My approaches are more than just "head knowledge." They work for real people in real life. I am convinced that I am not anyone special. If a practice/principle works for me, it will probably work even better for you.

Do you feel low energy and the things you used to enjoy don't bring the same excitement to your life? You may be feeling disconnected from others and the world around you. Depression and anxiety can feel like a constant weight, making even the simplest tasks an overwhelming struggle. While feeling that weight it can be difficult to work towards creating positive change or even envision that change is possible.

We all deserve to heal, to find meaning in our lives, and to have healthy, fulfilling relationships with ourselves, others, and the world around us. Clients I work with are often in therapy because they are overwhelmed by worry, stress, and sadness. I am honored to join my clients on their path to healing, as they bring courage, insight, and determination to our work together. While my clients may be children, teens, or adults, come from diverse backgrounds, and have different needs and goals, we all seek well-being and connection. I welcome clients of all gender identities, sexual orientations, backgrounds, beliefs, and cultures.

Trauma happens. We rarely can control it; it does not discriminate in who experiences it, and no two individuals experience trauma in the same way. The definition of trauma is not universal. What may be traumatic for one may not be for another. And the path to recovery is as unique as the experience itself. You may not have chosen to experience trauma, but you can choose your path to recovery. You have the power to recover. Trauma does not limit its impact on those who experienced it; it also impacts loved ones. It can take the form of conflict, stress and anxiety, burnout, parenting struggles, or caregiving for a loved one.

There is currently a lot of uncertainty in the world. Now, more than ever it is important to find the support we might have been lacking. Usually, we feel as if we can tackle everything on our own, but that might not be the case anymore. Taking the step to care for yourself not only benefits you, but those around you. In my experience, I have found that the most healing moments occur when we are able to be completely open with another person and then be accepted for who we truly are. I value all my clients whole-heatedly and emphasize your autonomy and personal choice. I believe that you are the expert on your own life.

I work with individuals navigating the complexities of trauma, grief, or significant life transitions. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, or the aftermath of a traumatic experience, such as childhood abuse, sexual assault, or a traumatic loss. You could be dealing with feelings of estrangement or grappling with neurodivergence, and they may feel isolated, misunderstood, or overwhelmed by their emotions. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore their experiences and emotions and provide validation, understanding, and effective coping strategies to manage your symptoms.

We maintain a telehealth Practice in both California and in Oregon. We believe we are all deeply impacted by "systems" in which we function: Family Systems, Community, work, neighborhood, weather, political and medical systems. For many of us economic and social justice systems also impact us in these times. How we function within those changing systems can impact us both emotionally and energetically. We may experience signs of depression, anxiety or suffer from mood changes. Your personal, individual counseling goals are key to this shared journey.
