My counseling approach centers around frameworks of cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, however I make sure to draw from other theoretical orientations in order to better meet your goals for treatment.

Whether you are seeking therapy for new positive coping skills, processing current stressors, or simply needing support- with a collaborative approach to treatment, I believe that change is possible.

Sharing our inner experiences with someone can often feel frightening, which is exactly why I place such an importance on connection and acceptance in the therapeutic process. I aim to create a safe environment that will invite my clients to delve deeper into their personal narrative, as I truly believe we are not built to process emotions alone. As humans, we all have a propensity to grow and become our true selves, unfortunately we aren’t always gifted with the circumstances to allow it. I am passionate about creating a space for not only self-discovery and self acceptance, but to allow clients to feel seen, heard, and valued.

With Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, I work with clients to draw on their strengths while honoring the difficulty of change.
The greatest joy comes when clients break free of painful patterns and move to feeling comfortable with life. I've been a counselor for 25 years, with extensive experience helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and addictions. Getting at underlying issues of shame, loss of control and grief changes lives. When therapy works there's more than just insight; clients feel it in their heart as well as their head. Those around them see that they have a life worth living with more happiness and better handling of the inevitable potholes.

Finding trustworthy professionals to help you with intimate issues is embarrassing and difficult. You can find a safe space in therapy when you can find it nowhere else. This is my most important skill, something not learned in school: unconditional positive acceptance and honest, non-threatening communication about intimate problems. Here you will find sensitivity to private behaviors which are regarded with non-judgmental acceptance and respect, never shame nor intolerance. Now accepting CareOregon members.

I help client's heal from trauma and re-establish a relationship with their intuition and learn how to trust themselves again with therapeutic techniques such as EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Energy Psychology, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and Somatic-based interventions. I infuse the therapeutic process with Human Design and other strategies for building intuition and self-trust to heal. I help client’s through a deconditioning process to challenge past lessons and messages that no longer serve them so they can realign with their true self. Each person is unique and deserves an individualized approach to treatment.
