About My Clients
If you are feeling; stressed, overwhelmed, stuck, not like yourself, depressed and anxious more than you’d like, burnt out with no energy left, or isolated and lonely even in the midst of your busy life, then I am so glad you’re here and it’s time for a change. I work with adults struggling with Depression & Low Mood, Anxiety & Panic, Grief & Loss, Trauma, Relationship Issues, Parenting/Motherhood, Caregiving, Life Transitions, and other mental health and life challenges.
My Background and Approach
I grew up in Portland, Oregon and have worked primarily in Community Mental Health for 18 years, providing individual therapy, program management and supervision to diverse and underserved populations and staff. Populations I have worked with include persons experiencing homelessness and severe mental illness, older adults and their caregivers, refugee/immigrant communities, and college students. In my current private practice, I particularly enjoy working with moms/parents, young adults, working professionals and caregivers. With two decades of experience, I use a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach to reduce symptoms of Depression & Anxiety by helping you identify and deal with thoughts & emotions in a more helpful way and to help you find new ways of coping. I try to keep my approach warm, with a balance of space to process along with concrete strategies.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in inclusivity, celebrate diversity and strive to promote equity and inclusion for all. Even though we might not come from the same background, I vow to honor your experience, work to understand you, and always treat you with respect. I believe in body positivity and acceptance, and that self compassion is a powerful way to accept yourself and build inner strength. I believe every person deserves love and respect. I believe in caring about my clients and in the power of the therapy relationship. If you are unsure if therapy is right for you, that’s perfectly okay, reach out with any questions you might have!
