In private practice telehealth as an LCSW statewide across Oregon, now accepting Cigna, Aetna, Carelon, Anthem EAP- Bank of America, Moda, Optum, and Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield insurances with more insurance options coming soon. With a passion for helping clients achieve authentic growth and wellness, and over 30 years of experience in human services, my approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, compassion, and collaboration.
My areas of focus are anxiety, depression, bpd, gender, sexuality, grief/ loss, parenting, and life transitions; with an approach that is sex positive. I believe that our experiences, life connections, and environments, often impact how we move through the world in both challenging and supportive ways, and that we can learn more about ourselves through them.
I use evidence-based techniques to support my clients on their journey; together we can explore your goals and work toward achieving them. If you are looking for a therapist who will listen to you, validate your experiences, and empower you, please reach out. Let’s take the first steps on the path to thriving.
