I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Oregon. I specialize in working with children, teens, young adults, couples, and families. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life changes, grief, loss, anger, trauma, ADHD, and LGBTQIA+ challenges. Life can be hard and I am here to help teach you how to guide yourself to feeling better. One step at a time!
In therapy I use solution focused, collaborative problem solving, cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, to list a few and will meet where you are. We will work as a team and believe in one step at a time. Change and progress is slow and that is okay.
I believe that people truly want to be happy and content, but get caught up in life's challenges not knowing what to do next. I am ready to help you go on a journey of a lifetime.
