Some openings as of August. Are you struggling to live the life you want? Do you keep finding yourself in the same place without knowing how to change? Current situations & events can trigger old pain & trauma which can be confusing & negatively impact relationships. They can also lead to creating misguided stories that you tell yourself & that keep you anxious or in fight/flight states.

Through non-judgmental warmth, compassion & self-reflection, we re-wire old thoughts and behaviors and help you live a more authentic life.

Are you somebody who is struggling to understand their place in life? Wondering how to make sense of what is going on around you or adjusting to big life changes?

Do you feel worthless or have a hyper critical inner dialogue? I want to help you attain your goals to improve mental health, personal growth, life satisfaction, and spiritual fulfillment.

I believe that change is always possible. While often intimidating, therapy can be the first step toward improving your life. Whether struggling with a relationship, anger management, communication skills, parenting, self-identity, depression or anxiety, I work with my clients to identify the maladaptive thought processes, roadblocks and circumstances that have led to feelings of frustration, dissatisfaction, or helplessness. I have a passion for working with individuals, couples and families to identify life goals, improve self-awareness and communication, and implement lasting change.

Laughter & Genuine. Two words that describe me… As I say “I am who I am” or others might say “down to earth.” Whether you're navigating relationship issues, anxiety, depression, facing career crossroads, or seeking to improve your mental well-being, my goal is to create an easy and genuine space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. Similar to a psychologist, a mental health counselor is trained in theory and practice of mental health disorders, treatments and interventions.

I am passionate about helping LGBTQ+, BIPOC and other individuals discover their values, purpose, talents, and their support systems by partnering with them as they take important steps towards their future. I believe in a person-centered, holistic approach while providing individuals with the support and strength they need to navigate personal obstacles. I strive to provide comprehensive trauma informed care to ensure each client I work with feels safe and confident in their therapeutic experience.

I practice individual, adult psychotherapy in Oregon and Utah (Utah is currently telehealth only), and I hold an Authorization to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (telehealth) in several other states as well. I work primarily with individuals experiencing anxiety or mood-related problems as well as those who are having difficulty with their relationships or difficulty coping with stressful life events. Since my VA internship, a portion of my practice has been working with veterans. I've been a provider for Returning Veterans Project and Give an Hour and have completed the MAPS training in MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD.

What I believe.. I believe that every human has a right to make their own choices, and those choices reflect the life they are currently living. Counseling is the pit stop where a person has an opportunity to look at the life they are living through another perspective. Often, we cannot see the blind spots that keep us from living our best life.

I believe each individual has both the capacity and the right to change and to grow. It is my duty to be aware of the whole person and never to reduce him or her to a mental health challenge or diagnosis. Whole people have their own set of circumstances physically, emotionally, educationally and spiritually as well as other facets. I subscribe to a meta-approach. I employ multiple types of treatment modalities. I take these and with the person being served, weave a set of treatments that will best address whatever needs are being presented as obstacles to thriving.

No one is truly broken, we all are just a little bent.

I utilize an integrative approach. This means I will draw upon different training, techniques, and ideas to assist you with your specific goals. I strive to provide a unique form of therapy for you and your unique wants and needs. Common aspects of my integrative approach: Client-centered approach grounded in empathy, genuineness, transparency and an open and non-judgmental attitude; Relational approach as often our relationships with others (family, friends, significant others etc.) occupy our thoughts and impacts our mood. We can learn from our therapy relationship “in the moment” to learn and apply these important lessons;
