If you would like someone else to understand what it's like to be you, my counseling approach focuses on personal growth, relationship work, mental illness and trauma-informed care. I employ evidence-based approaches and techniques to collaborate with you on reaching your optimum state of being and to support you in identifying changes that you seek to make in order to experience the life that you want to live.

Do you feel stuck in an endless web of worries? You may be struggling with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, or daily feelings of numbness. Every day is an uphill battle. You are exhausted and tired of hiding your emotions, and you wonder if things will ever get better. You feel alone and hopeless, desperate to find answers. Know that you're not alone. My passion lies in empowering individuals to break free from the paralyzing effects of OCD, anxiety, and depression. I also treat individuals with PTSD utilizing Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidenced-based treatment modality.

Currently have a waitlist. Best reached by email. Does it feel like your anxiety or depression is interrupting your daily life? Do you feel keyed up, irritable, or on edge?

I honor each client and their story and believe that the therapeutic relationship—built on openness, vulnerability, and trust—is necessary for success.

As a therapist who has been in practice for 10+ years, I have a wealth of both experience and knowledge. I draw on my clinical experience to help my clients learn the skills to enhance their quality of life, break old patterns, and accept themselves in order to move past unprocessed shame and live in the present moment. I am effective at getting to the heart of the issue with my clients and in using evidence-based practices to provide structured, concrete skill building, as well as to create a validating environment. I would describe my therapeutic style as compassionate, understanding and efficient.

"We all have our stuff." I heard a wise woman say this years ago. We might feel overwhelmed by all the expectations of life - of adulthood. We might be carrying the weight of something terrible that has happened in our lives. We might feel deeply alone - even when we are around other people. Maybe we feel out of control or lacking discipline, struggling to break habits that we know are bad for us. Whatever the case may be, you are not alone. Lots of people come to therapy. Lots of people feel much better after trying it.

“I consider it an honor to work alongside others as they navigate the journey toward healing and change. My hope is to improve emotional health as a part of overall wellness. I believe that each person has a unique set of needs, life experiences, and strengths that deserve a tailored counseling approach. What may work for one person in therapy might not work for another. My objective is to help identify and work toward therapeutic goals at a comfortable pace in a way that best fits each person.

Teletherapy for now (both locations), and Oregon residents only at this time. Do you feel like you have more than you can handle right now? Sometimes it feels like no one can possibly understand what's going on, and we just need someone to hear us. Being able to process concerns in a safe and neutral place is paramount. I believe compassion and attunement is vital in relationships as well as in the therapeutic relationship. It's helpful to explore and gain understanding of past and present experiences, behaviors, hurts, and wounds. While change can be difficult it can also be deeply rewarding.

Don’t keep waiting for things to change. If you found yourself here, you may be feeling down, confused, or lost. Perhaps things seem to be going from bad to worse or nowhere at all. You have likely been going it alone, but you deserve better. Seeking therapy can be scary, I know, but won’t it be just as challenging to let everything continue? You need some support, and though things may seem like a lot right now, I know how to help you through this.

“You just DON’T Understand!” your teenager screams at you through tears and gritted teeth. Sometimes it’s unclear if your 12-year-old will ever come out of their room or look up from their video game. You’re afraid to call them down for dinner because of the reaction it may elicit. It’s mind bending to think that you – the parent – have to walk on eggshells just to keep the peace. You know it’s hard to be a teenager these days. But it feels like there’s such a divide, you don’t even know how to begin to help them. Once you lose your temper, the whole house descends into chaos. You’d do anything to get through to them.

I help people access their strengths, find clarity within, understand mind-body signals and enjoy an improved sense of fulfillment in life - even in hard times. We look at how individual well-being exists within extensive structures beyond the self. My therapeutic style aligns well with people who are struggling with the overwhelming state of the world, feeling out of touch with their deepest dreams and values, and dealing with stressful life transitions in relationships, work, and beyond. The above scenarios may manifest internally in the form of depression, anxiety, grief, burnout and feeling disconnected from yourself and others.
