Hello! I am so happy you are here. I want to share a bit about myself as a therapist. If you’ve got questions about your identity and feeling pressure from family or society about how you “should” show up, you’re not alone—I offer a nonjudgmental, supportive place where your story will be heard and respected. I have immediate openings. You can visit the link to Willamette Wellness Center's website to schedule with me directly.
I have experience supporting individuals who have lived through trauma in a variety of contexts, including within families of origin, intimate relationships, and workplace environments. I think that counseling is a place where we work together to achieve your goals, and I would be honored to work with you.
You can schedule with my directly by visiting the link to Willamette Wellness Center's Website and completing a new client form!
