About My Clients
I offer talk therapy services to adults (25+) from all cultures, genders, religions, sexual, and economic backgrounds. Clients experiencing emotional distress due to life transitions, past trauma, codependency and those in helping positions with compassion fatigue/vicarious trauma are who I most often work with.
My Background and Approach
I provide client-centered, integrative psychotherapy (talk therapy) combining theory and techniques from multiple therapies, including trauma focused - cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoanalytic object relations theory (Schema) and attachment theory.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am originally from Texas and grew up there and in Wyoming. I went to undergrad at Oklahoma State University where I studied Human Development and then went on to teach Kindergarten for 8 years. I decided to make a career change in 2018 and went back to grad school for Clinical Mental Health at Adams State University in Colorado. I practiced in Colorado for two years before moving to Oregon where I have been for the past four years. A big part of why I made this career change was because I had burned out of teaching and wanted to help others in helping positions prevent burnout as well as processing vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue that often comes from working in a helping position. I work with individuals in the medical, educational and human service field to process the complexities of being a helping position while also living life outside of work.
