It goes without saying these past few years have been an uphill battle. With the stress of a pandemic, the economic hardships facing many, and political divides deepening: it's no wonder anxiety is high. Or depression feels magnified. Or you find yourself falling back into bad habits. But you don't have to struggle through this time alone. Empathic Counseling can help you cope during this difficult time and empower you to thrive. I work closely with clients across Oregon to help them find freedom from Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, Trauma, or that harsh voice inside you that tells you you're not enough.

Have you been scrolling through psychology today, trying to find a good fit? If you want a safe space to discuss trauma, grief & loss, major life transitions or would like help managing your anxiety/depression, I am here to help. Most people have experienced some form of trauma in their lives. It may have been an extremely stressful event. Or, it could be the cumulative experience of long term neglect, abuse or violence. Being in this survival mode may come with persistent feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, feeling trapped, disconnected & detached. Current patterns are a result of strategies to survive & no longer serve us

Welcome:). I offer an embodied experience of psychotherapy to help people expand their awareness and sense of connection. My work draws mainly from my expertise of The Hakomi Method of Mindful, Somatic Psychotherapy. In my sessions, I guide you to slow down and pay attention to deeper layers of yourself. With mindfulness, we uncover emotions, sensations and core beliefs that shape how you experience yourself and the world. Change happens as we work together to sort out old patterns and create new understandings to bring forward an updated life perspective from the most authentic, integrated version of who you are.

I help people discover a sense of embodiment, self, and aliveness. My clients are intelligent, curious, creative, and sensitive people who seek to deepen their relationships with their bodies, themselves, others, and that which is greater. As a depth-oriented therapist, we will look beneath the surface to understand the deeper currents that move you. We will examine patterns that are holding you, explore the wisdom of your body, practice mindfulness, relate with your unconscious, refer to archetypal imagery, and incorporate strategies to enhance your self-concept, competency, and well-being.

As a mental health provider who has been practicing in an integrated family medicine clinic, my approach to health is holistic. I believe the foundations of well being are built on sufficient sleep, good nutrition, physical activity and healthy relationship with oneself and others. So, whether we are struggling with anxiety, depression, concentration difficulties, relationship issues etc, when we improve how our brain functions, by strengthening our wise brain and quieting our survival brain (through mindfulness and other techniques), then we increase our ability to live the life that is meaningful to us.

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.

Hello, I am a licensed clinical psychologist in MA & OR. Before becoming a psychologist, I worked as a public interest attorney, and as a psychologist, I see the importance of being mindful of social context in the therapy room. I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy -an evidence-based treatment- to illuminate how the past and present, external and internal, mutually influence one another. I also integrate tools from other therapy modalities to support the unique needs of each individual.
