Often when we’re stuck, we feel as if we’ve run out of options; we don’t know how to move forward. Maybe you’re tired of living this way and you’re ready for things to be different. First of all, I want to commend you. Just by the fact you are here looking for a counselor, I want to acknowledge the amount of courage and energy that took. This says much about how ready you are for a change, and it makes me genuinely excited to work with you. Sometimes we’re too close to our own challenges to see what is getting in our way. This is where I can be helpful.

Have you ever felt like everyone else got the manual on how to live, while you were left figuring things out alone?

If this resonates with you, I'm here to help.

In psychotherapy, we work together to understand the meaning of your symptoms and the sources of your pain. The therapeutic process is in large part a careful encounter with the past in the hope of getting beyond what happened to you and discovering who you are apart from your history. It also includes the exploration of your beliefs, emotions, protective strategies, recurring patterns, and relationship dynamics. From a stance of compassion and curiosity, we put words to your experience and what has been unsayable before.

I am a Certified Jungian Analyst and a member of the Pacific NW Society of Jungian Analysts (pnsja.org). I specialize in working with dreams, creativity, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Many of my clients are in mid-life and struggling with relationships, career, aging, illness, and loss. I have experience working with sexual minority clients. My style is interactive and collaborative, and I believe that therapy should provide a safe and supportive environment, with no thought, feeling, or imagining that cannot be shared. My task as therapist is to accompany you on a unique journey to your authentic self.

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.”

Being a person is hard. And while life can often feel overwhelming, I believe that with the right support, everyone is capable of change and growth. A trusting therapeutic relationship can help us to reconnect with our authentic values, needs, and desires, opening up new pathways toward a more fulfilling life. With a background in philosophy, I have long been fascinated by the questions and challenges of living. However, it was my own recovery experience that inspired me to become a counselor and dedicate my time to helping others as they navigate their unique journeys toward healing.

I help people living with depression, self-identity struggles, grief, trauma and have experience working within LGBTQIA+ and ethical non-monogamous communities. The children I see have/are experiencing abuse, behavior concerns, and life stressors. My role as a therapist is to offer authentic and genuine reflections and to help strengthen your mental capacity and confidence to handle internal and external stressors. I believe we all have a story to tell, some intertwined with tragedy and challenges, and that our time together is for you to tell yours. Note: I don't work with insurance companies; only out of pocket.

People arrive at Jungian analysis for a variety of reasons, a life difficulty, crossroads, challenges with human relationships, curiosity around dreams and creativity, or a hunger to learn and explore Jungian topics. Jungian work is about reclaiming one's narrative, through integration of unconscious and conscious aspects of the self. This work can help a person feel more authentic, balanced and whole (the Jungian concept of individuation) or 'living life to one's truest state'. I provide Jungian analysis as well as Oregon state licensed psilocybin facilitation.

Many people grow up in dysfunction and therefore they relate in inappropriate ways. Clients that I have helped the most typically relate to these dysfunctional ways: They guess at what normal is. They judge themselves without mercy. They have difficulty relaxing and enjoying life. They have difficulty with intimate relationships. They over-react to changes over which they have no control. They constantly seek approval and affirmation. They feel that they are different from other people. They avoid conflict or aggravate it; rarely do they deal with it. They fear failure, but sabotage their success.
