My Approach to Helping

I'm glad you're participating in the important and sometimes challenging process of finding a therapist. Here's a bit about my therapy approach to help you learn if we might be a good fit: my goal is to support you to move through pain and struggle in a way you feel good about. My therapeutic style incorporates warmth, humor, and honest feedback. I prioritize creating a space for you to safely experiment with new ways of being and communicating. I strive to help you live in a way that inspires deeper fulfillment by harnessing your natural ability to cope with stress. Sometimes when the strategies that used to work for us no longer serve their purpose, we start to struggle and suffer. When we identify these patterns and have support in trying something new, there is relief from "stuckness."

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and received my education from Pacific University's School of Professional Psychology. My patients are adolescents and adults, many of whom struggle with anxiety, difficult transitions, and loss. I feel privileged to have served the Portland community since 2009.
