I am a seasoned psychotherapist and counselor with a commitment to developing the strengths and possibilities within each client that I work with. I believe in providing relief from immediate suffering while also helping individuals with honoring and advancing their own goals. I also believe in the uniqueness of each person.

I keep it real and bring my authentic self to sessions, using humor and strength-based approaches. I focus with clients on emotional regulation skills in the moment and how to process through concerns by learning to notice thoughts, emotions, and where these can be experienced in the body.

Healing trauma and experiencing lasting change is possible. Mindful Therapy & Breathwork focuses on the body and its sensations as the core of therapy. Instead of changing through thought alone, somatic therapy works from the bottom up, connecting with your body's intuition to address emotional, sexual, or relational issues.

I will provide a safe place for my clients to explore their struggles and learn new, healthy tools and coping skills. I have experience working with children, foster children, parents, and foster parents, and I am committed to showing all clients they have the strength to work through difficult challenges.

I approach therapy with deep empathy and respect, creating a safe and supportive space for you to explore and understand your emotions. I believe in the power of collaborative healing and will work alongside you to develop personalized strategies that foster resilience and growth.

I believe therapy empowers people to live fuller, more productive lives. My role is to meet you where you are and provide a supportive environment where we work collaboratively to gain awareness of yourself and others, work through emotions blocking your present enjoyment, and examine your values and assumptions about life.

Are you feeling hopeless, stuck, or just overwhelmed with life? It can be difficult to navigate emotions sometimes; having someone to talk to whom you can trust is important. If you're not sure where to start, and you're worried about being judged or just not sure about therapy in general, please reach out!

I believe meeting clients where they are at is important. This is your journey, and I am here to offer support and tools throughout the journey.

I believe there are many paths to healing and change, but all of us sometimes get stuck or could use help with life's challenges. I will meet you where you are in a non-judgmental and supportive way to explore what brings you to counseling and what changes you hope to achieve. My goal is to support you in achieving lasting positive change.

I am licensed in Oregon and Washington with 14 years of professional work experience. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage.

Would you like to experience increased well-being and emotional healing? Are you struggling with emotional regulation, self-criticism, spiritual issues, low self-esteem, or experiencing major life changes in your journey? I specialize in the areas of self-compassion, inner child healing work, energy psychology, and somatic awareness.

My approach is to listen with compassion and understanding, and the knowledge that when someone takes the step to come to therapy, they do so from a position of strength. Understandably, it can also be very uncomfortable to divulge so much about yourself to a stranger, and with that, I honor and acknowledge that you have taken that step.

I am an LPC and have earned the NBCC. I enjoy spending time with my dog, cats, and chickens. My kids are adults, but I try to spend as much time with them as possible. My approach is to set clear goals for myself and my clients and treat every session as an opportunity to make progress.
