Let's Connect (503) 966-2354
I work with adults navigating the emotional weight of aging, chronic illness, and caregiving, including older adults adjusting to changing bodies and life roles, people managing anxiety and depression alongside conditions like chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, or cancer, and family caregivers who have put their own needs last for so long they've lost track of what those needs even are.
My approach is direct and collaborative. I use evidence-based methods, CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing, but I don't deliver them from behind a clipboard. Sessions feel like a real conversation. I'll listen, and I'll also push back thoughtfully when that's what's useful.
You do not need to continue carrying everything on your own. Email is the best way to reach me, and you can typically count on a response within a day. Looking forward to connecting!
