You are successful. Others often make comments about how "perfect your life is" because from the outside they see someone with a perfect marriage, great kids, and a wonderful job. But on the inside you feel anything but perfect. You are struggling to keep your head above water, you haven't felt connected to your spouse in months, sex has disappeared and you no longer have the energy to even try to initiate intimacy. You're frustrated with most or all areas of your life and feel like you have no one to turn to that will understand.

The gift of therapy cannot be truly measured in words or action, but in how you feel afterwards. Your decision to begin psychotherapy was probably made after a great deal of thought and consideration. Selecting a therapist who will be a good fit for you is critical since the process of psychotherapy is intense, and a satisfactory outcome is essential. I provide a broad spectrum of evaluation and psychotherapeutic services with individuals, couples , families, and groups. My approach is collaborative, seeking solutions within your value system.

My first job as a therapist is to listen and understand. Deep listening is a time honored tradition and fundamental to healing. I strive to create a safe and nurturing relationship with clients that is a source of comfort and inspiration. Clients inspire me too! I practice spiritually grounded psychotherapy. This means I see life's challenges as, fundamentally, opportunities to grow spiritually and as a whole person. To me, the process of healing is beautiful and miraculous, something that gives us glimpses of a benevolent force much greater than ourselves.

Welcome and thank you so much for your interest in connecting with me! Hopefully my experience and communication style may be what you are looking for. I work with adolescents, adults, couples , families and have facilitated groups within the therapeutic setting. My practice utilizes integrative modalities of EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, self compassion and solution-oriented psychotherapy. I use collaboration and the client-centered biopsychosocial model to focus my treatment, while paying close attention to your goals for personal growth. I believe in the capacity for individuals to affect positive change!

Accepting new coaching clients. I work with individuals and couples to create optimal, practical, effective and lasting solutions to health, relationship and life challenges. Using a variety of client-centered, solution-focused strategies, our work together is founded upon present moment awareness of the body, mind and environment to empower, liberate and increase your insight in order to move towards health, balance and satisfaction in your life.

Welcome! I'm so glad you are here. I offer teletherapy to individual adults in Oregon facing concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues and self-esteem. I often focus on supporting clients through life transitions including those working through mid-life concerns, career and family changes, transition to college, cancer diagnosis and survivorship and grief and loss. My style is warm, compassionate, and accepting. I want you to know you are safe, seen and heard. I will partner with you in moving toward change through gaining fresh insight, feeling self-compassion, and seeing your strengths.

Are you feeling stuck in life and constantly juggling between personal space and various obligations? Do you tend to be hard on yourself and often “take the blame” in relationships? Do you feel the need to be there for others but often forget about yours? Whether you are beginning on therapy journey or continuing on, the growth towards self-understanding and awareness is the first step of healing. My therapeutic approach is warm, non-judgmental and collaborative. My theoretical orientation adopts an integrative approach that incorporates psychodynamic, interpersonal process and mindfulness.

In my practice I provide relationship focused therapy for adult couples and individuals. It is my passion to support clients as they unfold, progress and discover new insights. I believe the therapeutic process can help increase awareness and lead to healthier choices creating a greater sense of freedom and stability in our lives. I create a non- threatening atmosphere of trust and safety for all people. This environment provides a solid foundation for our therapeutic relationship to develop and prosper.

Do you ever wonder, despite all your knowledge and efforts for growth that you still end up in a pattern of doing the same thing over and over again? Well, it's not your fault and there is a way to change it. When we are free to truly see and understand the connection to our brain, body, mind, and relationships, we can actually rewire our brains to build new neural pathways for new ways of thinking and being. Most of what we do, we have no idea why we do it; almost 85% is not on a conscious level.

Life is packed with change and challenge. And sometimes that negatively impacts our life, altering our thoughts and feelings, creating confusion, distress, anger, grief and disconnection. My goal is to support you in navigating these abrupt or lingering life transitions that block you from living fully. You may be shattered by a life altering diagnosis, unexpectedly caring for a parent or partner , pushing against aging, loss and grief, feeling isolated, or coming to see the world changed after covid or your gender transition. Let’s work toward bolstering internal and external support to help you flourish on your life's journey.
