In my work with individuals and couples I believe that my clients are the experts on their own lives, and I'm an expert in helping people heal and grow. I approach therapeutic work from a strengths-based, relational perspective, recognizing that therapy is a cooperative endeavor. I specialize in helping people process and heal from complex trauma, PTSD, and moral injury, with a special focus on survivors of spiritual abuse, sex trafficking, and involvement in high control groups. The main therapy models I work from are Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT).

I believe that optimal well-being and positive changes are achievable by anyone. I believe that by setting obtainable goals, and working in a collaborative therapeutic relationship, we can find tools to use for a lifetime. In examining your emotions, behaviors, thoughts, beliefs, and environment, we can identify possible solutions and paths that will enable you to enhance your wellness. I utilize a pragmatic approach which involves several different evidence-based therapies with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Person-Centered Therapy.

My approach to counseling is one that looks at the person as a whole. I believe in a collaborative counseling process where, through working together, goals are identified, and change is discovered.

I employ interventions in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and trauma focused therapy. I work with adolescents and adults.

Our mental health impacts how we experience every aspect of our lives including our personal and professional relationships. As a therapist I work to support individuals and families in finding new strategies to cope with life's challenges and improve connections. I approach therapy from a humanistic lens striving to create a comfortable environment where we can work together to help manage the challenges and work toward goals.

I believe human beings have the ability to grow and evolve in ways that enable them to better accept past challenges, more effectively navigate present experiences, and cultivate fundamentally healthy futures. Underpinning this belief is my faith in collaborative therapy as an effective tool for accessing that ability and for empowering clients to live meaningful lives aligned with their own strengths and values. As a therapist, my approach to using that tool is an integrative one infused with psychodynamic, humanistic, and behavioral principles. My goal in our shared work will be to support you in exploring who you have been, who you are, and who you aspire to become. Through such exploration, I am confident that your personal path to authentic self-understanding and sustainable well-being can be found.

I believe that every individual is deserving of an abundant life. The families we are born into, the families we create, the communities we live in, and other life circumstances sometimes make it hard to be at peace and achieve the goals that we have set for ourselves. Time with a counselor can help individuals hear their inner voice, gain the strength needed to make course corrections, and restore the sense of joy and purpose that are sometimes lacking in our daily lives. In our work together, I will be using a person-centered approach to connect with you, and techniques from several evidence-based practices to help you achieve your definition of wellness.

Counseling offers a space to explore life’s challenges with openness and compassion. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC), I work with individuals experiencing mental health concerns, disabilities, or life transitions. I hold a Master’s Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from Western Oregon University and believe in an integrated approach that includes Person-Centered and existential perspectives, along with evidence-based practices such as CBT and DBT. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to find meaning, growth, and balance in your life.

I am a Professional Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oregon. I aim to provide a safe, consistent space to build trust and collaborate with clients to meet their desired mental health goals. Art therapy engages the mind, body, and spirit in integrative ways that are distinct from verbal articulation alone. No client needs to be an “artist” to engage-- often it works out better if one is not! In our work together we may use any media you are comfortable trying out, which could be as simple as collecting leaves or making slime. We can also just do talk therapy if you prefer. My prior experience includes providing individual and group support to children, teens, adults and families in various settings including a retirement center, children’s hospital, children’s day treatment, and as a school-based counselor with Native youth. I use a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach tailored to each client.
