Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

Verified by Psychology Today

Let's Connect (971) 251-1591
Coming to therapy is a brave choice that takes vulnerability, courage, and energy. You may be experiencing pain, anxiety, anger, dissatisfaction, or numbness, and looking to experience your life differently. I prioritize the therapeutic relationship, and bring a warm, steady, and grounded presence into the therapy space. I empower, and encourage my clients toward exploring their emotions, body experiences, thoughts, memories and desires. I support clients in navigating their internal and relational worlds toward fullness, freedom and agency. I am a holder of hope and offer my clients deep compassion along with direct guidance.
Each individual and relationship system has a unique and complex blueprint and I am committed to understanding and exploring each experience. My practice is guided by social justice principles and the belief that we are our own greatest healers. I believe problems occur in context and are influenced by the social/political systems in which they arise.
I believe humans have an innate propensity for growth, and have the strength and ability to overcome challenges. I will help you discover the internal wisdom you innately have to help traverse the path to healing.
