The journey towards therapy can feel overwhelming. You may find yourself feeling alone, scared, misunderstood, or completely stuck. Having someone by your side to explore the parts of yourself that prevent you from living the life you desire can make a world of difference. I offer a compassionate and supportive presence. It is my intention to help guide my clients towards developing a healthy and strong sense of self, and an understanding of the feelings and emotions that emerge during the counseling process. Being human involves not just the mind but also the body and soul. I am licensed in both Oregon and Washington. I use a variety of techniques to support my clients in feeling more connected to their whole selves. While our thoughts and emotions are important, equally of value are the somatic sensations experienced within the body. In addition to talk therapy, I integrate guided meditation, breath work, EMDR, music & craniosacral therapy within my practice. Whether you are facing past or present trauma, struggling with anxiety and depression, or just don't know what your next move in life is, I am here to offer a supportive, compassionate and mindful presence, sitting next to you as you navigate your way. I invite you to connect with me for a no-cost, 20-minute consultation either by phone or video call.

This is not the life you pictured, is it? You know things need to change but have no idea where to start. Being a human in this fast-paced society is quite difficult and often times heartbreaking. I strive to place the therapeutic relationship as my primary focus, because until someone feels authentically accepted, change is not going to be possible. You came here to change things in your life but ironically, first you have to learn to accept who and what you are, right in this moment. I can help you get to that place! I mix science of the brain & body in combination with identifying the many loops and patterns we tend to get "stuck" in, to help clients achieve authentic change, and a more peaceful outlook on themselves and their life.

I have seen the growth and healing that can happen when you experience understanding and acceptance in a safe and compassionate environment. Whether you are coming into therapy to address current stressors in your life or are ready to work through past trauma, I will provide you with a supportive environment to begin that process.

Tasks, responsibilities, and commitments pile on, and you're left wondering what contortions your schedule will make to fit them all in. You're getting that “running on empty” memo from fatigue. And as you take time with the people that matter most to you, it’s hard not to be distracted by stress and worry which has you missing out on enjoying the moment fully.

If you are finding yourself in need of therapy then chances are searching for a new therapist may be feeling a bit daunting right now. Whether you are going through a significant life situation or if your distress seems to have caught you by surprise, I thought it would be helpful to share some highly likely topics of exploration that can be expected during our work together as a means to seeing the change you want to see - no matter what your desires for therapy may be: self-compassion; core emotions; boundaries; core beliefs about yourself; autonomy; vulnerability; self-worth; healthy relationships of all types; strengths. View 6 Photos I have extensive experience working with individuals impacted by trauma related to intimate partner violence and sexual assault as well as from abuse and neglect. The core of my work uses feminist theory to explore how systems of oppression as well as socialization impact our emotional health and explore how one can move toward empowerment and autonomy. In Session was created with the hope that a serene space can allow you to find respite from your busy world long enough to slow down and put yourself first. I strive to always be genuine, empathetic and warm so that you may feel safe, accepted and open as you navigate the pains and joys that occur throughout therapy. I hope to connect with you soon.

In my practice, I see that most mental suffering arises from losing touch with our own innate goodness, strength, wisdom, and resilience. This can happen from trauma and through receiving messages of our inherent unworthiness throughout our lives. Together, we can rediscover your inherent worth and confidence by finding the blocks in your psyche and loosening them through communication and self-compassion. From there, we will focus on rebuilding and cultivating the person you’ve always wanted to become! I have trained in meditation and contemplative practices for 20 years. These practices (and the lessons learned therein) have been invaluable in my own journey of healing and growth. Bringing mindfulness, awareness, and kindness to our experience is the key in clearing out our inner blocks and bringing a new sense of health, happiness, and magic to our liv I wholeheartedly know that, whatever you are suffering with, you can find a way through. I’m looking forward to working with you and helping you find that noble path together.

Counseling is such meaningful and rewarding work and I am so grateful that I get to do it. My goal is to always be growing as a person right alongside you and to always approach my work with a sense of openness and curiosity rather than judgment. After all, we’re just two humans talking about being human. My hope is that you can learn to further embrace your humanness and leave behind your shame in the process. While talk therapy can be extremely valuable, I recognize that there are some problems that conventional talk therapy can’t quite reach, which is why I typically use a more experiential, trauma-focused approach to counseling. View 5 Photos I also specialize in working with dissociation, substance abuse, couples, and adolescents. I am trained in EMDR and Internal Family Systems but pull from a variety of other approaches as well. You can find out more about my approach and specializations on my website. I also offer supervision for LCMHCs and LCAS-As. Healing and growth can only happen in an environment where you feel safe. While I would hope this is true for any counselor you choose, I think it's important that I mention a few things: I am LGBQIA and trans affirming, sex positive, dedicated to anti-racism, and I believe survivors. Please feel free to reach out if you think I could be a good fit for you.

I believe that the capacity to heal, grow, change, navigate challenges, and thrive is inherent in each of us. I partner with individuals to help bring forward and foster that capacity, with the ultimate aim of living a more joyful, and fulfilled life. My approach is strength-based, trauma-informed and centered around the understanding that you are the expert on your path. I work to understand your story, strengths, skills and values. I look at mental health symptomology from the perspective of - what life experiences caused this, rather than - what’s wrong with you? I believe that at our core, we are each fundamentally good. I primarily utilize person-centered and IFS therapy. Person-centered therapy fosters exploration and processing of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors within a therapeutic relationship, and IFS therapy facilitates inner work with the parts of you that drive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. When fitting I weave in aspects of other orientations as well. My approach is warm and welcoming. I provide a safe, compassionate space for your journey, wherever it may take you. It is my great honor to walk with you on your path, and to support you in your process, as you move toward fulfillment of your goals. Please reach out if what you've read here resonates with you.
