Are you looking for someone to walk alongside you in your healing journey? My ideal client may be healing from trauma, navigating PTSD, or exploring their neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, sensory needs). They want to feel safe, seen, and empowered as they work through anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional dysregulation. They’re seeking tools for nervous system support, clarity in their story, and self-compassion as they grow. They value a collaborative space where their pace, voice, and experience are honored. They long to feel more at home in themselves and more connected in their lives.

As a counselor, my focus is on creating a safe, nurturing space for teens and adolescents, ensuring they feel seen and heard. My person-centered approach addresses immediate challenges while offering a sanctuary for self-exploration, emotional understanding, and growth. I believe in each individual's innate resilience and that everyone deserves a safe space for discussing life's struggles and successes. My role is to nurture and develop this strength, helping clients overcome obstacles and become more confident, empowered individuals.

Hi! In my life I have learned the value of a good counselor, someone who is there to listen, provide perspective, and challenge assumptions. A person that is there to help you tell your story, find meaning, and identify strengths. Counseling is not always an easy thing for people to engage in and can seem intimidating and scary at times. It may lead you to explore things that are painful and frightening, and may bring up emotions that many of us are hesitant to explore. As I work with people I strive to make a space where these feelings, experiences, and thoughts can be freely expressed and explored in a way that promotes healing.

Are you struggling with past experiences and looking for someone who can join you in the journey to wholeness? I would love to support you as a trellis supports a growing, blooming plant! I have a lifetime of experiences working with diverse cultures internationally and here in the Portland area. This has given me invaluable insight into how our backgrounds contribute to our own unique stories and how we find healing and meaning in our life. For about 8 years, I have worked as both a child/family therapist and an adult therapist focusing on trauma across the life span. I work primarily with older teens and young adults.

I often work best with adults and older adults who are adapting to hard realities: chronic illness, dialysis, cancer support, caregiving stress, or the emotional toll of aging and life stage change. You may also be navigating trauma, abuse history, addiction, or co-occurring mental health symptoms. You want a therapist who listens closely, includes you in your care, and helps you build practical tools. Your goals may include feeling less overwhelmed, improving mood and coping, strengthening relationships, and moving through grief or transition with more stability and self trust.
