My clinical experience and specialization includes Couples Therapy,
Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy for individuals and couples, Gottman Therapy, Trauma informed therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused, Family Systems Theory, and Attachment Theory.
I am currently offering both telehealth and in-person sessions at a location in Beaverton. When therapy is conducted in a warm and non-judgmental environment, and an individual, couple, or a family feels safe and understood, it can be incredibly powerful in providing healing and growth from life's difficult past experiences and current challenges. As a strengths-based and client-centered Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work to create a safe place where a client's existing internal strengths are explored and they are able to create goals that build towards healing, growth, awareness, and positive change.

I draw upon several therapeutic modalities including
CBT
, DBT, EMDR and Mindfulness.
I work to help people find greater meaning, clarity and purpose - especially at important crossroads of change. Our view of self can be altered through past trauma, divorce, relocation, loss, illness, and new opportunities for growth can be embraced. Symptoms of anxiety, depression, and past trauma can lower motivation and activate old ways that no longer serve you today.

I use a strengths-based approach and pull from different evidence-based modalities such as DBT,
CBT
, and CPS.
Our lived experiences shape the world around us and how we interact with it. Therefore, I believe understanding someone’s story is instrumental in any therapeutic process. Therapy is meant to help someone heal, build skills, break out of patterns, and gain further insights into oneself. It’s an investment in yourself so that you can have a future not burdened in anguish.

approach to facilitating optimal experience.
Do you have the heart of a competitive athlete or other high performer? Do you find yourself in need of support as you navigate a course toward excellence? I'm a licensed sports psychologist, working with diverse competitive athletes and elite performers to manage competitive performance demands, daily stress, relationship struggles, life changes (such as injury recovery and career transition), and more. The work often starts with basic problem solving, but ideally it leads to an unlocking of optimal experience. Finding a psychologist like myself, with training and background in sports psychology, is an important key to success.

I use many modalities such as Solution Focused Brief Therapy,
CBT
, DBT, Mindfulness, Play Therapy, and a neuropsychological approach to understand how stress is affecting them physically.
Trauma, grief, divorce, troubled personal & family relationships - any of these can cause anxiety, depression, addiction, a need to isolate, or a sense of overwhelm and feeling that it's all too much. Being able to identify how we interact and cope in relationships allows us to understand our thoughts and feelings about ourselves and the world in general, and is a key to finding out how to move forward with self-empowerment, while building self-esteem. Together, we identify and learn how to use healthy boundaries, change behaviors based on new, healthy thoughts and beliefs, and develop more fulfilling relationships.

I work with individuals, families and children with compassion, persistence and skills to identify these changes and create a plan that is designed for you. My clients are families that may be facing a difficult transition or grief, a child or teen anxious, withdrawn, angry or out of control.

I am not accepting new clients but I DO HAVE OPENINGS in my online classes for sleep and chronic pain. Have you found yourself asking why you feel down when things around you seem to be going so well? Do you sometimes feel disconnected from the joy you once felt, and are now overwhelmed by just moving through your day? Sadness and worry can be difficult to manage on the best of days, and even harder when you can't quite put your finger on what has you feeling out of sorts. Working together, we can get to the bottom of what's troubling you and develop new strategies and solutions to the questions that are distressing you.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario (catastrophizing) or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
