I have training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Attachment Based Family Therapy (ABFT), and Circle of Security - Parenting.
I'm interested in helping you figure out what you want, and helping you get there. Being a teen and young adult is so stressful and weird, with or without other factors like mental health issues. I can help with all the identity exploration that you might need like sexuality, gender, career goals, education plans, self-esteem, etc., as well as issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, suicide, and self harm. If your parent/guardian is "making" you come, we can work with that too. Just remember, you're the one who consents for therapy, so you choose what we work on.

One of the beautiful things about counseling is having the privilege to hear individual's stories. Each therapeutic interaction presents with unique history, strengths, and concerns. I operate primarily from an Interpersonal orientation which looks at the counseling relationship as a "safe haven" to facilitate the change each client desires. I believe that relationship - with self and with others - heals. I strive to hold space and actively participate with each client desiring change, counseling and working toward congruence of body, mind and spirit.

I am a proud professional counselor. In the last ten years of my career I have worked with university students and individuals with severe persistent mental illness. I was drawn to working in higher education because university students are often times ready to change and dive into working on growing as people and developing new patterns of behavior. I enjoy helping anyone willing to take a few moments to try an experiment with their thoughts, or try something new. It may be a bit anxiety provoking at times but it helps us all to grow and change. I aspire to be an expert in helping clients find relief from their issues.

I have over thirty years of clinical experience helping clients find lasting change in their lives. My clinical focus is treating depression, anxiety, and trauma. I have specialized training in treating complex trauma including dissociative disorders. When working with trauma, the healing process can often be frightening and painful to address. Talk alone is not enough and can be retraumatizing in some cases. I use EMDR. My goal is to provide a professional, yet personal atmosphere where you can experience comfort and safety in exploring what is troubling you and find effective tools and skills that you can use in your life.

Betrayal, fear, and grief traumatize us and become our constant companions. Shock often sets in. We feel isolated & alone. But real, lasting help is available. You don’t have to stay stuck in this frightening & paralyzing space.

When experiences are too much, too fast, too soon, or should never have happened, it often leaves behind pain that requires attention and nurturing.

Therapy at Portal is co-created, meaning we consider and honor your individuality, your story, the wellbeing of your mind/body, and your goals for the future. Facilitating a safe enough space is prioritized, so that you can continue to experiment with new ways of being, loving, processing, and feeling. The goal is to integrate what works for you into the story you are telling with your life.

Deciding to see a therapist is a big decision, my goal is to make sure that it is a worthwhile one. I hope my straightforward approach will help guide you to self-empowerment, radical acceptance & building relationships. We will laugh and often, we'll cry. But either way... You won't walk this journey of self-discovery alone. Even the strongest of us need support in forcing our inner critic to be silenced. Our goal will be to get you to a place where you can put on your dancing shoes and have the skills to help you conquer life.

**Waitlist** Living authentically can be scary, rather intimidating. With support of a therapist, individuals can learn to accept, even embrace, the vulnerability that the process towards authenticity requires. Within a supportive therapeutic relationship, clients can explore personal beliefs and develop their identity. Many individuals struggle with processing life events but it doesn't have to be done alone or involve constant suffering. Life events can be difficult, even "positive" ones such as the birth of a child; postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are real and it doesn't have to ruin your experience as a parent!

Many of us feel like we could be doing better, but are not sure how to start. The busy, fast-paced, and isolating lifestyle that has captured so many of us often leads to chronic stress, anxiety, disconnection from relationships and community, and a lack of meaning. On top of this, many of us also carry past traumas, large and small. Therapy is one mode of addressing these challenges. When it goes well, we have a chance to process, find healthier habits and perspectives, resolve problems, and find new ways of living which increase our well being.

In life, we learn to do what we have to in order to survive. Sometimes that means finding skills to escape trauma that don't end up serving us in the long run. I am passionate about helping individuals nourish their mind, body and spirit to overcome trauma, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, addictive behaviors, poor self-image and other mental health struggles. I believe in helping my clients feel empowered to trust their instincts and create coping skills, self love, and a life they don't want to escape from.

You’ve seen enough videos, listened to enough podcasts, and read enough articles to know what you should do to fix your problems. Yet, you always seem to find yourself back in the same patterns you wanted out of. Whether it’s porn, substance use, procrastination, stress, or anger, you can’t shake the feeling that you're stuck with them. You may have even started to wonder if change is possible. Often, we feel this way because we are so focused on the symptoms, that we cannot address the deeper pain that is causing them.

Times of uncertainty often draw our attention to our fears and anxieties, but they also illuminate the things that are most important to us. Whether you’re wanting to learn more about yourself; worrying about your child’s well-being; suffering the loss of a loved one; processing abuse or trauma; experiencing a major life transition; feeling unsatisfied in your relationships; or are just wanting more out of life, therapy may be a great place to start.
