I bring a lot of trauma therapy interventions into my work, and use EMDR, DBT, mindfulness, attachment, parts work, Safe and Sound Protocol, and somatic interventions.
Hi! My case load is full but check out my website to match with one of my associates who would love to work with you! I am an LCSW in Oregon and Washington. I work with teens and adults particularly around trauma and more severe symptoms of anxiety and depression. I also work with those with chronic illness, body image issues, gender questions, and neurodivergence. I have a particular affinity for people who have endured trauma and who feel like they are outsiders. I pride myself in being culturally sensitive and welcoming to all, and someone who works as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I'm an approved clinical supervisor in Oregon.

I work holistically, weaving cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), somatic work, EMDR, mindfulness meditation, and energy healing techniques based on your unique needs.
I know first hand that healing from trauma and "the dark nights of the soul" are not only possible, but hold within them a gateway to more love and joy. No one goes through life without pain. Yet how we address our pain will make all the difference in how deeply we suffer, how resilient we are and how much we grow from these experiences. I will infuse our collaboration with compassion, acceptance, curiosity, and humor--focusing on your strengths.

Treatment Approaches include Hakomi Somatic Psychotherapy; Archetypal Pattern Analysis and Shadow Integration; Jungian Psychology; Dream Interpretation; Addictions Recovery; Spiritual Psychotherapy; Relationships, Attachment Issues; Mindfulness Meditation; Nondual Psychotherapy; Clinical Supervision; EMDR.
I trust that whatever appears in the mind, body, and emotions has its purpose and wants to be deeply heard, honored, understood, and embraced; that all the Psyche expresses are attempts toward our wholeness and realizing the jewel of our Essential Being. With this compassion and care, healing can unfold, patterns and beliefs transformed, and we can live our true potential and purpose, innate wisdom, and experience happiness, peace, and joy.

I draw from several models such as Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Somatic Interventions, and Psychodynamic theory.
As human beings, we are incredibly resilient but weathering the storms of life can be difficult at times without additional support. Counseling can provide an outlet that allows us to explore our pain and gain an understanding of our true Self. I take an integrative, holistic, and trauma-informed approach to counseling. Using a warm and open approach, together we will work to discover the resources you hold within you to promote healing and growth. I have experience working with survivors of both childhood and adult trauma.

I use a somatic, whole body approach in working with my clients.
Life is just getting too hard. The nightmares, the memories, the sleepless nights, the triggers, what do I do with it all? Will it always be this way for me? Trauma, CPTSD, and PTSD can feel overwhelming, frustrating and isolating. It's possible nobody around you understands, or they are telling you that you should "get over it", or that you should have been able to move on by now, and you want to. You want to be able to connect with people again, to feel safe in your environment and in your body. You want to feel better, and you want to thrive.

I integrate mindfulness, somatic (body-based awareness), and practical skills for regulating emotions and communicating clearly.
Welcome to my page! I appreciate therapy because it is a way to learn and grow. Each of us has a mind, heart, and emotions so it makes a lot of sense to learn about how our mind and body work. It is also a courageous act. It takes courage to reach out, courage to feel uncomfortable emotions and courage to embark on change. The foundation of my therapy approach is self-compassion; it is the desire to understand ourselves from a place of curiosity rather than criticism. As we begin the change process it can be easy for clients' self-criticism to increase therefore, we will develop your ability to treat yourself with kindness.

My trauma-informed approach to counseling combines several therapeutic models including somatic therapy, strengths-based work, and Acceptance and Commitment therapy.
Hello, brave one! I understand and admire the courage it takes to seek mental health support. If you find yourself grappling with anxious/intrusive thoughts, depressed mood, gender or sexual identity, challenges related to career or life transitions, or struggles associated with relationships and self esteem, therapy can be a safe, supportive space to process these experiences. Together, we may examine social, cultural, and environmental factors that impact the broader context of your lived experience, meaning-making process, and ability to implement change.

I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients, and have done so since I began practicing in 1994. Psychotherapy can be an uncomfortable experience, and I see myself as a fellow traveler in that journey. I have worked extensively with sexual abuse victims, anxiety, and depression. I am also a sex offender treatment provider.

Through an emotion focused and family systems lens, they enjoy listening to and collaborating with individuals, couples, and families to therapeutically address each of these layers.

Maybe you have a box in your head that's labeled "Past Stuff." You put in all the things you don't like thinking about: hurts from your childhood, the memories of things you did that play on a loop in your head if you're not careful. Lately, things have been leaking out. You feel less in control of your life, and the memories that used to stay in the box are escaping. Or maybe you know the box is there and have a sense that you should sort through it, but you're not sure about doing it alone.

Whether it’s to self or others, I believe that a sense of connection is where individuals thrive best. I work from a strengths-based perspective allowing individuals to capitalize on already existing skillsets to support their healing and expansion. We explore and integrate practices that have a meaningful resonance with the client and further cultivate a deeper sense of identity, purpose and connection. We also work beyond symptom removal and further explore the depths of the psyche and soul with the intent of discovering profound meaning in our suffering. You cannot heal what you cannot feel.
