There are endless opportunities to improve life when you've got the right support and skills. I currently work with young adults, people in college or graduate school, and adults. Some people I work with identify as more emotional than others, emotionally "sensitive" or intense, feel different in some way, or struggle with feeling out of control of your emotions or your life. Others I work with are looking for someone to run thoughts by to get validation or advice, or have a diagnosis affecting daily functioning and relationships. Whatever your reason for therapy, it makes sense to get a little extra support! Seeing OR + WA clients.

Life as a POC can be confusing to navigate as we can have traditions, values, and obligations that oppose our American cultural upbringing.

Everyone has unique needs when it comes to counseling. Some people are experiencing overwhelming emotions, some people feel numb and many are seeking a theraputic space to process whatever life throws at them. My goal is to foster your autonomy in choosing what is and is not helpful in pursuit of your needs and goals.

Updated 8/6/24: Accepting new clients. - By deciding to engage in therapy you have already made a commitment to bettering yourself and initiating change. Let’s celebrate that! Taking a meaningful look at our day-to-day lives and pasts can be daunting-let’s create a tender and safe atmosphere to wade through this process together. Too often, our mental health challenges are reduced to diagnosis, labels, and text-book definitions that don’t quite fit—my approach departs from these systems and is more rooted in holistic and relational healing.

Emotional and relational pain can’t be easily categorized with words like anxiety and depression. Each of us have our own stories and our pain is as unique as we are. Whether it is learning to carry the existing burden of a mental health diagnosis or exploring the sources of loneliness and worry, what helps more than labels is the ability to tell our stories in a way that is as hopeful as it is truthful. In over two decades of non-profit work I have learned to sit with people whose lives have been disrupted in the midst of their pain. As a clinician I hope to combine that empathetic human connection with evidence based practices.

Healing is a journey. For some, "healing" means reversing years of trauma, and for others it means 'getting out of my own head' or 'getting un-stuck.' For everyone, the path to healing is a difficult one, and it is lighter, easier, more meaningful when others join in with you. To you who have tried to go it alone, I invite you to reach out. Connecting with a counselor is a way to get un-stuck in your journey towards health, to bring healing to those deeper places of hurt.

My unique blend of life experiences and professional education gives me a distinct outlook on the complexities surrounding identity, mental health, and resilience. I hold a special interest in aiding individuals grappling with attachment traumas, particularly those exploring non-monogamous relationships. The ideal client for me is someone conscious of their challenges and in search of a therapist willing to accompany them on the sometimes uncomfortable journey towards healing and self-discovery, focusing on building healthy attachments and reevaluating personal beliefs and life narratives.

I believe that humans are hardwired for intimate connection. Yet, we often encounter barriers that keep us from cultivating the authentic and deep connections that we crave. I offer an inclusive and affirming space for individuals, couples, and families to explore roadblocks to vulnerability, break old patterns, and deepen understanding of themselves and others. When we connect with and honor the deepest parts of ourselves, we are able to shift toward more authentic and fulfilling approaches to navigating life and relationships.
