Welcome! I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in working with adults and adolescents who are experiencing a wide variety of mental health issues including but not limited to depression , anxiety disorders, behavioral problems, relationship conflict, and trauma recovery.

Please note: I am not accepting new clients at this time. I specialize in effective therapy for adults who are suffering from anxiety, depression , ADHD, trauma, and assertiveness issues. I enjoy working with individuals in the LGBTQ+ community and other minority populations. I have seven years of experience in working with college and university students.

Many clients have expressed appreciation for my authenticity, warmth, and caring nature. I am currently licensed in Oregon and Washington.

It's difficult to admit we are not where we want to be in our lives. It is painful when we are overwhelmed by sadness, anger, or worry. Attending counseling is an act of self-love and courage. You know yourself, and where you long to go. We work together to help you get there. Whether your distress is acute, or subtle, managed, or uncontrolled, it will lead to a lack of mental, physical and spiritual health. Unresolved anger, trauma, neglect, hurt, and family dysfunction will keep you stuck and block you from realizing your full potential.

I have been working with pre-teens, teens, and young adults for the past 10 years. I provide individual and family therapy for both mental health and substance use concerns to teens and young adults. I use a strengths-based and trauma informed approach that is grounded in anti-racism and hope for liberation.

I sincerely believe that EVERYONE could use a little extra support at some point in their life, and that is especially true now during this pandemic! You do not have to deal with this (or any) stress alone. Together we can create a plan to get you to where you want to be and how you want to feel. You are strong enough to get through anything. I am here to help you find the right path, and make the journey as clear and easy as possible.
