About My Clients
My clients often come in feeling anxious, burned out, wanting to explore childhood events that affected them, or wanting to learn how to relate to others and to themselves in more positive ways. I provide mindful, collaborative, and playful therapy to adults, parents of children of all ages, and adolescent girls (8+). I enjoy working with adults who care for others (parents, caregivers, and people in caring professions), and have a background as a school counselor (I love teens!).
My Background and Approach
My clients feel better as they experience being seen without judgement and learn to relate to themselves with compassion. My job is to work alongside my clients to help them build their strengths, explore solutions to problems, try out new ways of thinking, and collaborate with them in working towards the goals they hold for themselves. Some "tools" we may use in therapy include art, mindfulness and meditation, somatic stress reduction, and communication and parenting skills. I work carefully with each of my clients to develop a plan that is meant just for them and their needs. I hold a masters degree and a license in marriage and family therapy in both California and Oregon. I have over ten years of experience and training in working with children, teens and adults as both a private practitioner and a school counselor. I am grateful to be able to do this work, and enjoy the amazing privilege of getting to know each of my clients. I see clients online and in-person (Portland area).
