Let's Connect (971) 265-8603

My ideal client is curious and searching for deeper meaning behind their experiences. Ready to grow in a way that feels authentic and grounded. All ages of seekers from childhood up through elderhood experience change and struggle. You may have already approached this universal experience with determination: done the inner work, read books, maybe even been to therapy before but something still feels missing. You might be navigating early recovery, new parenthood, or a shift in what you believe. You're craving understanding that feels both psychological and soulful.

I would categorize myself as a relational provider wherein the therapeutic relationship itself is a central part of healing. Connection, trust, and mutual understanding are at the very core of my treatment style. Healing happens in the setting of mutual empathy where authenticity and empowerment can grow.

My approach to care is not just a delivery of expertise, but as a co-created process that honors the humanity, trust and mutual growth. I am relational and grounded, attuned to both the science of the brain and the depth of the human spirit. Together, we'll make sense of what's been happening, and build tools to reconnect you with who you are.
