My Ideal Client

The adolescence and adults typically experience difficulty of battling the ambiguity and pervasiveness of negative or obsessive thoughts and memories, overwhelming anxiety, difficulty managing compulsive behavior, and grief. With a willingness to commit to yourself and therapeutic work, you have the ability to make the change that you wish to gain in your life.

My Approach to Helping

My therapeutic practice is rooted in a humanistic approach, incorporating a client/person-centered focus and maintaining a therapeutic space that fosters empowerment and healing. My focus for individual and family therapy is maintaining a therapeutic environment that is safe, egalitarian, and of high cultural awareness. I value adhering to your personal goals for treatment, specific to your needs, as well as pulling from your own personal insights and experiences to build tools for a healthy life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have a Master's degree in Social Work (MSW) and License in Clinical Social Work (LCSW). I have provided individual and family therapy to adolescents and adults for over 8 years in Oregon and Washington. I specialize in treating individuals dealing with depression, OCD, anxiety, grief and PTSD.
