Native American Therapists in Aurora, OR

Do you feel hopeless from a past traumatic experience? Or do you feel like you're in a constant cycle of stress, anxiety, or sadness? Anxiety, depression, sadness, and stress can feel overwhelming, consuming, and hopeless. I work with people who want to explore their story and change this chapter in their life. I work with teens and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life adjustment, changes, and transitions, and individuals who have experienced trauma, abuse, or domestic violence. As someone who is Alaskan Native and Pacific Islander, I am passionate about working with BIPOC folks and other marginalized communities.

I am a psychodynamic therapist and life explorer, who would be honored to listen and walk beside you on your healing journey. I provide reflection and offer guidance and support as you navigate your past and present in order to lead you to the future you deserve. I serve teens and adults who are survivors and thrivers. I can provide virtual services to clients living in the states of California (virtually) or Oregon.

Are you feeling crippled with anxious thoughts, and the fear of your next anxiety attack looming around the corner? Have you experienced life altering trauma which you struggle to move past? Have you found that confiding in friends isn’t enough anymore? In my practice, I strive to help my clients find ways to confront their anxiety and trauma triggers in a way that strips them of their power, and allows you to thrive in your life, free from the confines of fear.

I am experienced in helping with a variety of issues from: anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, interpersonal relationship issues, and chronic disease (cancer, Long COVID, Ehlers Danlos, Lyme Disease, etc.). I believe a person is a multifaceted mosaic of influences and experiences that brought them to where they are today. My style and modality of therapy is to come along side of you in order to help you uncover the deeper meaning and root causes of your distress without judgment. I offer kindness and warmth in my approach, allowing you to feel at ease and empowered in whatever issues you are facing.

FULL.................... As a therapist, I believe in equality between myself and my clients. This means I believe you are the expert in your lived experience and can teach me as much as I teach you. I have expertise that may help you learn and change in your own healing path. Equality also means that I am open to sharing about my life if it is helpful to building your attachment, empathy, understanding, and healing.

I work with people who feel lost, misunderstood, & hopeless. Maybe you are in the process of exploring your sexuality or gender identity.

Many of us are waking up to the effects of generational trauma. You may have a history that has included family members with addictions, severe mental illness or anger problems. It could be a new realization leading to a hunger to to break free and do life differently.

Despite all the work, it can still be possible to get stuck from time to time. I hope to walk beside you as you break the cycles, find your path and create the life where you belong.
