My Ideal Client

Often, by the time you are looking for a therapist, the need for support has already been around for awhile. So, just, thank you, for being here. In some ways this is the hardest part, looking up at the summit of this mountain you are going to climb. But you are here because you know you don’t have to do it alone. I am a supportive, stable guide for my clients. If you are in patterns that you are struggling to change or if you seek to better understand yourself and heal, I'm here for you.

My Approach to Helping

I work with individuals and couples to provide support, heighten awareness, and bring clarity to foster understanding and forward movement. I offer in-person sessions at my office in SE Portland, as well as telehealth options to meet remotely. I am especially passionate about relationships, childhood trauma, and spirituality. With a Masters in Process-Oriented Facilitation and Conflict Studies, I use a process-oriented approach, which includes parts work like IFS. We will work together wherever you are at in your own process, exploring unconscious patterns, and pouring positive regard on all the underprivileged parts of yourself. In addition to talk therapy, I offer a variety of methods including dream work, art making, role-play, movement, and constellation work (walking vectors). I offer counseling and guidance navigating boundaries, grief, identity, sexuality, career, self-love, family dynamics, body symptoms, spirituality, plant medicine integration and harm reduction, and more.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that by integrating the parts of us that we marginalize and honoring our hearts, we can heal. (I believe this is true personally and collectively.) I believe all people and all things have a spirit, and that our connection to the spirit in ourselves is our key to contacting the spirit in everything else. I bring my whole self and whole heart to my practice. I have a rich spiritual life, guided by the stars and seen and unseen forces of nature and beyond. I'm an astrologer, I read birth charts (and tarot, and Kabbalistic Tree of Life), and keep my eye on the greater energies at play in our inner and outer worlds. I am a creative with many practices, and encourage others to follow their passions. I am a white queer cis woman, a witch, a partner, a mother, a poet, an activist, a mystic, an artist, a publisher.
