I work with couples and individuals in Oregon who are seeking relational and personal transformation. While we all carry the weight of past experiences, I see my clients through a lens of possibility—through their deepest strengths and their innate wisdom. I believe that everyone already has the essential ingredients for positive change and healing. Clients who work with me will be compassionately challenged while also being supportively held and accepted. Because of my unique background, I am a great fit for multicultural and multiracial couples and individuals with complex intersections.
Couples and individuals who seek my support also seek self-mastery. My primary approaches are Skills-based Couples Therapy, Somatic Psychotherapy and EMDR while integrating CBT, DBT, IFS, and mindfulness. I guide clients towards experiencing deeper fulfillment and meaning in their lives while being armed with practical skills and tools for everyday living.
Searching for the right therapist can feel exhausting and uncertain. I understand how important it is to find someone where you can feel an authentic connection and trust there will be a good return on your investment. In our work together we’ll create clear grounded steps toward your goals. I offer generous consultations to ensure a strong therapeutic fit.

People are unique and beautifully complex. Therefore, therapy should not be a "one size fits all" approach. My treatment approach is practical and deepening - guiding your inner knowledge towards harmony, confidence, and self-mastery.
