Life often asks us to choose: stay comfortable or be fully alive? If you feel stuck, your mind is likely doing its job—protecting you from pain. My goal is to help you shift from avoiding discomfort to moving toward what you truly value. We won’t fight to silence your inner critic or force positive thinking. Instead, we’ll practice making room for your whole experience—the messy and the meaningful—so it no longer dictates your choices. Together, through a process based approach, we’ll build the flexibility to unhook from old patterns and reconnect with a life that feels purposeful. We'll move at your pace, step by step.
Licensed in OR & WA, I help you move from feeling "stuck" to living with purpose. Specializing in neurodivergence (ADHD/Autism/TBI/Dyslexia/OCD), trauma, and mood disorders, I use a process-based approach. We don’t fight thoughts; we build the flexibility to "unhook" and move toward what you value—embracing both the messy and the meaningful.
Telehealth and in-person sessions (NE Portland, OR). If you're ready to explore a different path forward, I invite you to connect with me. I do NOT accept Medicare or Medicaid. I do NOT work with couples.
