Growing up right now is really tough! In addition to balancing homework, extracurriculars, friends, and family, kids also have to deal with increasing mental health stress. Our society feels less and less like a village, leading to more strain on caregivers as they try to parent in today’s climate. As your therapist, I passionately advocate for children and families using a multi-systems approach by coordinating care with school counselors, doctors, etc to support clients holistically through strengthening natural safety nets. Our sessions are a safe space for clients to vent, process, and work through life's obstacles.
Specialty: LGBTQIA+, Asian Americans, children of immigrant parents, religious trauma.
Interventions: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), art therapy & play therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Family Systems, Attachment Based Therapy.
I am clinical social worker and am licensed in both Oregon and Washington.
Meeting someone new for therapy can be scary. What I can offer is a pressure-free safe space where we can talk or just play Uno and chat about your favorite movies or TV shows. Our time would be dedicated to focusing on whatever is most important to you and what you think will help you get the most out of life.
