My Approach to Helping

My counseling style is grounded in a person-centered approach through a humanistic lens. It is trauma informed, integrative, holistic, intuitive, sprinkled with humor, and infused with authenticity. I am trained in EMDR therapy, which is an incredibly effective approach to relieve acute and complex trauma and so much more. It's always an honor to bear witness to the profound healing that transpires through this remarkable, and relatively rapid, method of treatment. I specialize in addressing self-esteem, acute and complex PTSD, and narcissistic abuse recovery. Additional issues: anxiety, attachment issues, bipolar disorder, boundaries, career changes, codependency, communication, depression, divorce/separation, domestic/relationship abuse, existential concerns, gender expression and identity, gender transition, infidelity, life changes, relationships, self-discovery, self-esteem, sexuality, spirituality, and more.

Why I Became a Therapist

After 20 years in the marketing design and fine art fields; I recognized and accepted that I've been guided toward becoming a psychotherapist throughout my life. In my 40's, I took a deep breath and embarked on the journey to support others on their healing path. Three years later, I completed a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University in Denver, Colorado. After graduating in 2020, I opened a private practice and contracted with other counseling groups in the Denver metro area. In 2024, I became dual licensed (LPC) to serve residents in both Colorado and Oregon. Thus, I relocated to the Portland Metro area—where I was born and raised—to serve Oregonians and live close to my family again.
