You are realizing that it is time to focus on healing. Life hasn’t been easy for you. You've faced a number of challenges that haven't been healed. Or, perhaps, you’re facing a loss that has left you disoriented and raw. Survival mode feels like a daily routine, and you don’t even know what “normal” feels like anymore. You may struggle with anxiety, depression, or intrusive thoughts and images. You find yourself swinging between overwhelm and detachment, anger and numbness. Only those who’ve been in your shoes can truly understand. You know it’s time to seek help toward healing and enjoying more of what life has to offer.

Everyone has seasons of difficulty, confusion, or moments where forward progress in life and relationships seem to come to a stop. These experiences, while deeply painful, can be harnessed as moments of growth in our lives that cause us to understand ourselves, our faith, our relationships, and the world around us to a much greater degree.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m a queer therapist based in Portland, Oregon, and I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults navigating eating disorders, trauma, and identity. Many of the people I work with feel disconnected from their bodies, stuck in patterns around food, or overwhelmed by internal pressure they can’t quite name. Often, there’s a deeper story underneath—of trying to cope, to feel safe, or to find a sense of control in a world that hasn’t always felt affirming. In our work together, we slow things down and get curious.

I work with a variety of clients, all having one thing in common: They are unhappy with the direction their life has taken and seek insight so that their lives can change. Whether they are wanting to process a life event and only want to come one or two sessions, or whether they want to make a long-term connection with a counselor, I tailor my therapy to my clients' needs. My approach is interactive, engaging my clients in conversations that help them process past or present events, so that they can find their own path to healing.

Do you ever feel stuck in life? Like the world keeps moving forward but YOUR world is standing still? I'll be honest, change is hard! Life transitions, trauma, anxiety and depression can take its toll, especially if you don't have the support and tools to cope with moving forward. I'm proud to offer innovative approaches that surpass typical talk therapy, such as Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. You can expect authentic support that meets your needs in a way that allows you to dream again and step into who you were meant to be.

Every individual brings their unique history, modeling provided by adults while growing up, experiences, expectations, hopes, and dreams into a relationship. From this complex mix, a relationship prototype is formed. As couples face challenges, build shared history, and perhaps welcome new family members, those initial desires and longings can sometimes be forgotten. This can result in communication shut down, emotional withdrawal, and increasing dissatisfaction on many levels, including sexually, in what was once a loving, caring, connected bond. Getting back what seems to be lost is where I come in.
