About My Clients
Whether it be stress, a life transition, anxiety, depression, trauma, fertility, or relationship challenges that brought you here, together let's dig a little deeper and explore what may be hidden just beneath the surface. I work best with clients who are curious about their past and open to what the present may offer, in order to move them towards their desired future. I work with both the body/nervous system and mind in order to bring people closer to their center of balance, peace, and joy.
My Background and Approach
I think of my therapeutic approach like taking a walk together, sometimes that walk is more of a mountain climb, sometimes a stroll through the park. Either way, we choose the path collaboratively, one sooted to us both. If the pack you carry is too heavy (whether with anxiety, weariness, conflict, resentments, grief, stress, or just change) I can help carry that weight for a time. But I cannot carry you. I provide encouragement, non-judgement, perspective, skills if necessary, humor, and a steady presence. You will see my personality in our time together as I hope to see yours. I also offer Brainspotting as well as traditional talk therapy. I hold a bachelors degree in Psychology from Oregon State University and have background in outdoor programing and adventure leadership. I have a masters degree in Professional Mental Health Counseling form Lewis & Clark University as well as special certification in eco psychology. I am Licensed as an LPC.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that all people have a story that deserves to be told and heard. I believe in people's capacity for change and goodness and hold my client's with high regard and respect, for this work and this life are both hard and beautiful. And I believe that nature is our greatest teacher, our home, and respite. It is a piece of my work and value in my life I will always hold dear.
