I see therapy as a collaboration; I meet you where you are in your mental health journey. Perhaps you've been holding onto your past. Maybe you're struggling with stressors of daily life. Would you like to improve your relationships? Perhaps you're seeking therapy because something in your life is calling for a change. I can help guide you to find your authentic self, capacity, clarity, change, healing, self-compassion and resiliency in whatever stage of life you are in. I enjoy working with folks of all types yet I only see adults and individuals.

I utilize several modalities in our sessions, including; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy (evidence based PTSD treatment), Mindfulness, Motivational interviewing, Patient Centered, Strengths-Based, Relational Therapy, Solution Focused, Trauma Informed Care.

Please reach out to see if we could be a good match. I'm available to do a 15 minute phone consultation. I'm licensed in Oregon and Texas and now accepting in person sessions on Wednesdays in Portland, OR. I don't accept any OHP plans.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Mindfulness-Based (MBCT)
Motivational Interviewing
Person-Centered
Relational
Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)
Strength-Based
Trauma Focused

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as a base for most of my practice. CBT helps you identify how your thoughts impact your feelings and the internal narrative you carry. It helps you identify how to reframe thoughts and increase mindfulness. I also offer Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma. CPT is an evidence based PTSD treatment.
