Everybody deserves a space where they can feel truly seen, heard, and understood without judgment. As a clinical psychologist, I strive to provide therapy that is collaborative, effective, and uniquely tailored to every client. I have extensive training and clinical experience working with clients from all walks of life on a wide range of issues including (but not limited to): depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, family-of-origin, cultural identity, codependency, relationships, etc. I also enjoy working with couples (monogamous or non-monogamous) and families.

Sometimes life doesn’t seem to make any sense. The things we thought defined us don’t quite fit the same way they used to. The goals, dreams, and aspirations that used to motivate us just aren’t moving us like before. Even though on the surface things may seem “fine” to most other people, we know that in reality, we’re struggling to get by and long to feel truly connected to the lives we have. We get tired of feeling empty, we get tired of feeling overwhelmed, and sometimes we get tired of feeling altogether.

My approach to therapy is based on the belief that everyone has an innate capacity for healing and growth. As we adapt to life's challenges, however, we sometimes get stuck in long-term patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving, or relating to others that ultimately limit our growth and leave us feeling sad, lonely, overwhelmed, anxious, angry, or fearful. I work collaboratively with clients to help them identify, understand, and change these patterns that keep them feeling stuck so that they can to move towards a life that is more passionate, creative, and fulfilling.

Who do you long to be? What desires lying dormant within are asking to be expressed through your life? Perhaps you feel stuck, trapped in unconscious loops and patterns keeping you small and limited in your expression or experience of the world. Maybe you have survived trauma (both big and small) and feel caught up in a state of nervous system dysregulation, as though your body is still trying to keep you safe from the dangers you experienced in the past. Maybe you no longer seem content in life, but feel pulled toward something larger and greater for yourself.

Many people come to therapy seeking relief from painful symptoms, relationship issues and self-defeating patterns. They may feel alone and isolated in their suffering. I work to create a safe, respectful and supportive environment that alleviates aloneness and facilitates connection, healing and positive change. My style is relational, warm and forthright. My clients achieve more than just symptom relief -- they also grow in their capacity to feel safe and connected with others, and they experience improved self-esteem and identity.

Email is best...Hello! I am licensed in Oregon, NM, and Idaho. I look forward to meeting you! I believe that every individual has the capacity to heal and grow regardless of how deep the wounds, that no one is broken beyond repair. However, sometimes we find ourselves moving through life in a way that is hindering our potential or no longer serving us well, which can often be the catalyst for seeking counseling. I am dedicated to seeking out ways to educate myself in decolonizing my practice and life. I will meet you where you are and work with you to find the balance you are seeking.

I am Licensed in New York, Oregon, and Washington. I have been trained in many approaches to therapy and I believe that it is my role to work collaboratively with my clients to find the approach that works best for them. I believe that healing takes place in the context of the relationship between therapist and client and that an important part of the work is developing a connection where one feels truly seen and heard. I also believe in helping my clients get in touch with deeper levels of awareness of their bodies/emotions and helping them to incorporate mindfulness practices into their lives.

Maybe you’re challenged by overwhelming emotions or struggle to know what you’re feeling at all. Or maybe you’re having trouble adjusting to new circumstances or making a big decision. These problems in living and many others may respond well to psychotherapy.

You've been suffering on your own for far too long, pushing away the pain until it feels like you have nothing left. You're exhausted. You feel alone but you put on a mask, smiling on the outside while you're in so much pain inside. Because you pull it together for the people around you, nobody realizes what is going on. You've lost interest in everything. You can't concentrate. Sometimes you hate yourself and wonder if you deserve to feel good ever again. You feel weak and you are so tired of this pain. It's time for a change.
