I resonate with the Christian community and, in addition, folk who may have their own religion and have a totally different worldview, which is perfectly OK. I find that all still yearn for belonging, acceptance, and a strong desire to be seen as special by themselves and those they love. Unfortunately, life and the important people in your world, as a child or later, did not cooperate. Instead, they treated you with shame, verbal abuse, rejection, and you were led to believe that you were marred or flawed in some way, resulting in a sense of worthlessness. We were then, at a young age, forced to learn coping skills to sort of exist

Life can be overwhelming sometimes and can often result in layers of difficulty and being stuck in repetitive patterns.

An ideal client for me would be someone who is ready to become, wanting to make impactful shifts in their life. In-Network with Kaiser of OR.

Pain is part of the human experience. Rather than efforts of eliminating distress, I invite individuals to amplify their awareness of thoughts, sensations, and impulses that contribute to pain and suffering. This mindful practice, coupled with self-compassion, can mobilize healing, increase our ability to manage distress, and expand our resilience. Collaboratively, we will explore options for creating a meaningful life.

I work with individual adults who are looking to break old patterns, stop obsessing, think about their lives differently, challenge their assumptions, and live life in alignment with their true values. I want to help you explore these patterns and develop curiosity about where they are rooted, so that you can start making new choices about how to respond to familiar feelings.

Let's work together to build new neural pathways and learn to cope with all of life's vast unknowns.

Many of my clients come to me after years of trying to figure themselves out through therapy, self-help, or sheer grit and survival. They’re often late-diagnosed or self-identified neurodivergent adults with complex trauma who’ve learned to mask, over-function, people-please, and hold everything together by the seams, all while wondering why healing and this life have felt so difficult, as if everyone else had a secret guidebook to figure it out.

I like to work collaboratively with my clients, so after our initial assessment, I will present you with some different options for how we can address the challenges that you are experiencing. I want you to feel comfortable and well-informed about the process, so I encourage lots of questions, and I want you to tell me if things aren't working. I find that reducing shame, increasing mindfulness, and making sure that we acknowledge progress are key to success in therapy. I have intensive training in ACT, DBT, and CPT. I have a lot of experience using CBT and narrative therapy as well.

You're exhausted from analyzing why you do what you do. You've read the books, maybe been in therapy for years, and you can name your patterns — but you keep repeating them anyway. You're navigating existential overwhelm while the world expects you to keep working, keep showing up, keep having it together. You feel too much or nothing at all. You're carrying political grief, burnout, or the weight of systems that harm people you love, and there's nowhere safe to process what you're actually feeling. You want to stop performing "fine" and actually connect — to yourself, to others, to what matters.

I believe healing and change are possible.

Do you find yourself feeling anxious, low energy, overwhelmed, or angry? Do you feel disconnected in your relationships? Would you like someone to explore your feelings, values, and experiences with?

I enjoy working with people who are motivated to create change in their everyday lives. They've had to become resilient, often out of necessity, and now are ready to reshape their survival into growth. They may be carrying the weight of generational trauma, depression, anxiety or complicated grief. They are contemplative and capable of imagining a life with more grace and self-compassion. They come to therapy with an aspiration to break cycles, for themselves and the people around them.

My approach in therapy involves seeing us in the context of relationships with ourselves and others. As we come to understand who we are in those relationships we have opportunities for healing, for reconciliation, for growth.
