My Approach to Helping

I’ve always been interested in human nature and relationships. For me, every day is an opportunity to discover more about how we learn, how we grow, and how we can create the life we desire. Before starting my career as a therapist, I studied and taught yoga in the Pacific Northwest for 15 years. Through my experiences in everyday life, as a student of yoga, and as a counselor, I’ve gained a deep respect for the universality of our human struggle and our striving towards wellness, happiness, and peace. I’ve realized how profound it can be to have someone help us navigate the difficult times, to see what we can’t see, and to help us grow in ways we didn’t think were possible. Today, it’s my privilege to be a part that — helping people find their way towards wholeness and happiness.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I’m a licensed professional counseling with a Master’s degree in Couples, Marriage, and Family Counseling from Portland State University and a Bachelors in Psychology from Ohio University. I work with individuals and couples experiencing relationship issues, infidelity, parenting issues, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and more. I use an integrated approach to counseling including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Relational Life Therapy (RLT). I affirm all sexual orientations, gender identities, and relationship styles. My mission is to collaborate with and empower clients to achieve their goals and the relationships they desire. I work with people to develop the skills they need to be their authentic selves while experiencing deep connections with those around them. I use my background in mindbody philosophy to help my clients find balance, ease, and integration in all aspects of who they are, and aspire to be.
