Hi there! I am a holistic therapist who has found my own freedom through spiritual practices including mindfulness meditation, yoga, talk therapy, sound therapy, and somatic release. I enjoy getting to know humans for who they authentically are. I hope to empower you to reach your fullest potential and navigate through any roadblocks you may find yourself crossing. Navigating through trauma can feel scary however you are more powerful than you may realize and I am here to help you take your power back and to thrive rather than simply survive!

I firmly believe that each and every one of us does the best we can. I work with adults, teens, youth and families. I approach teens and youth just as I do adults, in a respectful, supportive, and understanding manner. I work to understand the root of the "problem," so healing may begin. I specialize in trauma, skills training, parent training, anxiety, and depression. For 12 years I worked at an inpatient setting with emotionally disturbed youth and their families. I have educated myself in a multitude of treatment modalities in order to meet each client where they are at.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Oregon with over 20 years of experience helping individuals heal from their past, cope with present difficulties, discover their strengths, & move toward a healthier, more fulfilling future. My practice is grounded in humanistic & person-centered philosophies and within this therapeutic framework, I use an integrative & collaborative approach that tailors evidence-based interventions with your unique needs & personal circumstances. With inclusion, equity & diversity as foundational values, I strive to offer culturally relevant care and am a BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and non-binary affirming provider.

Welcome! I see children (4 years and older) adults, and couples. I am a compassionate, heart-centered therapist. I practice from a holistic and integrative perspective, blending neuroscience, somatic/body-based methods and cognitive-behavioral therapy. My role is facilitator, guiding in changing patterns, improving relationships and living authentically. You will gain a toolkit in our work together.

I strongly value the unique intersectionality of each individual and/or collective identities and narratives. I am interested in focusing on and using the therapeutic relationship to explore, process, and re-build psychological patterns of self-worth and interpersonal dynamics that are underlying symptoms. I welcome collaboration in cultivating a curious and open space to empower growth in self-agency as well as growth in the capacity to reflect on the self, other, unconscious mind, and emotional experience. I believe this is vital for deepening self-compassion and integration of one’s various parts of self and history.

On the outside, it looks as though you’re holding it all together. You have a good job, group of friends, and house to come home to. But on the inside you feel like a failure, you’re using every ounce of energy trying to keep up appearances and you lay in bed at night wide awake with worry telling yourself you can't take another day like today. You’re wanting normalcy, relaxation, and balance rather than obsessing over what you “should” have done or wondering when the next wave of stress will hit. You've tried everything you can think of to help yourself through this, but you still feel like something's off.
