My Ideal Client

Do you want to feel confident in who you are? If you answered "yes", then perhaps it's time we talk! As a therapist, one of my main goals is to help you feel confident and empowered in who you are. We'll do this through talk, art, and exploring all the ways you're unique. It's natural that our confidence ebs and flows (becoming a parent, starting a new job, or being in a new relationship) but if you're reading this you're probably ready to bring that confidence back! Let's chat!

My Approach to Helping

I've found every client to be different in what they need to heal. Some need to talk and feel heard while others just want to feel validated in who they are. With that, my approach to you will be just as unique as you are. We will collaborate to find what works for you! My work is influenced by many different models but is deeply rooted in the workings of Internal Family Systems, Expressive Arts Therapy (including SoulCollage®), Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Experiential Therapy. With these perspectives in mind, I create a space for you to explore you inner and outer world, to create meaning through art, and to find your voice in a space the is validating, affirming, and empowering. 

Why I am a Good Fit for You

If you're ready to feel confident, to find your voice, to explore and understand more about who you are, then I may be the right fit for you! My passion for therapy is driven by the people I call my clients. They each have a story to tell, and when I'm lucky enough to witness their healing and transformation, there's truly nothing more gratifying. I am committed to supporting each and every client - when a client walks in, ready to heal, there's no limit to what they'll do and how they'll grow! I'm a cis-woman, mother, partner, friend, sister, therapist. I've gone through challenges, much as we all have, and through my own experience in therapy and healing, rediscovered who I am. To have felt disempowered, to then regain that power for myself, is what fuels my work with people. I earned a Masters of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Certificate in Ecopsychology from Lewis & Clark College. Recently, I earned my credential in SoulCollage®.
