I believe that establishing trust is crucial toward building a strong therapeutic connection. I use evidenced-based therapy models such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to guide treatment and apply effective interventions. Thus, my philosophy is progress made in therapy is trust earned.

If you're ready to start healing and building healthier connections, don't hesitate to reach out and take the first step toward a brighter future.

My approach is collaborative with a focus on building awareness and flexibility in coping styles, with the goal of decreasing symptoms as quickly as possible. My training and approach include cognitive behavioral therapy, gestalt therapy, developmental theories, dialectical behavior therapy, and crisis/trauma-informed theories. Additionally, I am dedicated to working with first responders, healthcare workers, and other mental health providers. I have experience assessing and intervening in crisis situations with children and adults, while working w/in secure residential settings, as a member of a county crisis team, and most recently while working within two ER settings in the Portland Metro area.

In my sessions, I have a welcoming approach dedicated to nurturing a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Navigating life transitions and relationship challenges can be daunting and often leads to feelings of uncertainty and isolation. Recognizing the importance of seeking support during these times is crucial for healing and growth. With a holistic approach to therapy, including CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, and EMDR, my practice addresses the mind-body connection to promote overall well-being.

I bring authenticity and curiosity to our therapeutic relationship, valuing your expertise in your own life journey.

As a therapist, I serve as a supportive and empowering partner in my clients' life journeys, facilitating their path to healing and purpose discovery.

Often, people seek out therapy in the hopes to decrease suffering and increase connection to who/what they care about. My life's work is to be skillful at supporting the people who consult me in achieving their unique version of these goals.
