Note: I currently only have openings on Mondays. I accept OHP Trillium (not Care Oregon), Regence BCBS, and Aetna. Much of my work is with adult clients who appear to be managing life fairly well on the outside but are also carrying old wounds, unresolved trauma, anxiety, grief, or the impact of major life transitions. In therapy, we'll look at how your past affects your present, identify behaviors and patterns that may be getting in the way of a more fulfilling life, and work together towards the changes you want.
My approach is warm, reflective, and grounded in trauma‑informed care. I integrate psychodynamic and attachment‑oriented therapy with EMDR, CPT, CBT, ACT and other modalities. Clients can expect a mix of insight, emotional processing, and practical tools in their work with me.
It is my goal to create a welcoming and affirming environment for people of all backgrounds. I have worked with diverse individuals throughout my career and continue to learn how best to support each person with both curiosity and culturally-responsive care. I also offer immigration evaluations in both English and Spanish. Please reach out for more info!
