My ideal clients are individuals, couples, and families who care deeply about their relationships but feel stuck in patterns they can’t shift alone. They may be navigating life transitions, communication breakdowns, or intergenerational dynamics that are resurfacing in new ways. Beneath the frustration, there’s often a desire for stronger connections, healthier patterns, and a deeper sense of authenticity. My clients are looking for a space that offers both practical tools and meaningful exploration—a place where their experiences are honored and where real change can begin.

If you have had traumatic experiences with religion, you may face significant challenges. Enduring religious trauma can leave you with a shattered sense of identity, feelings of isolation, and excessive self-criticism. You might find yourself vulnerable to abusive relationship dynamics in adulthood because you were conditioned over time to be too compliant—to deny your own needs. Even if you’ve survived the worst of the trauma, you may still struggle with trusting yourself and making healthy decisions. You want to move forward, but you feel stuck.

I have supported individuals and families for more than 24 years in navigating attachment and trauma-based need. As a trauma therapist, I understand how deeply our experiences shape our beliefs, our sense of safety, and the way we learn to trust ourselves and others. These patterns often form quietly over time, influencing how we relate, cope, and move through the world.

Teletherapy for now (both locations), and Oregon residents only at this time.
Do you feel like you have more than you can handle right now? Sometimes it feels like no one can possibly understand what's going on, and we just need someone to hear us. Being able to process concerns in a safe and neutral place is paramount. I believe compassion and attunement is vital in relationships as well as in the therapeutic relationship. It's helpful to explore and gain understanding of past and present experiences, behaviors, hurts, and wounds. While change can be difficult it can also be deeply rewarding.

Can’t make sense of why you feel the way you do or do the things that you do? Do you feel alone? I work with teens and adults providing care for clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, and the desire to reach life goals. The main goal for my clients includes establishing and becoming the best versions of themselves. I believe that in my practice, my clients can achieve their goals if they believe in themselves, put in the work, and have support. I am inspired by 'not being a product of ones circumstances but, being a product of the decisions and actions made.”

“YOU just don't understand!” your teenager screams at you through tears and gritted teeth. Sometimes it’s unclear if your 12-year-old will ever come out of their room or look up from their video game. You’re afraid to call them down for dinner because of the reaction it may elicit. It’s mind bending to think that you – the parent – have to walk on eggshells just to keep the peace. You know it’s hard to be a teenager these days. But it feels like there’s such a divide, you don’t even know how to begin to help them. Once you lose your temper, the whole house descends into chaos. You’d do anything to get through to them.
