About My Clients
I provide therapy to adults and couples from a variety of backgrounds. I have experience working with trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, chronic pain/illness, attachment/relational concerns, and other mental health concerns. I love working with clients who are curious about themselves, who want to grow their capacity to be present with their emotions, and who want to gain insight into their patterns. **Please note that at this time I am only working with OHP CareOregon and self-pay clients.
My Background and Approach
As a trauma-informed, somatic, and relational therapist, I approach therapy with a lot of curiosity, gentleness, and eagerness to explore what is happening for clients in the present moment. I often encourage clients to check in with the sensations in their bodies and may highlight patterns I notice. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where clients can access and explore their emotions and experiences, enabling a deeper connection to themselves and others. I also like to bring (appropriate) humor into sessions. I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is a key part of the process! I draw from Gestalt therapy, attachment theory, AEDP, and Internal Family Systems. I have a non-pathologizing approach rooted in the belief that capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy, homophobia, transphobia, and other systems of oppression all impact our mental health.
