About My Clients

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should somehow feel better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers, and their lives. Seeking therapy is something you can do for yourself to find clarity, clean out old beliefs and heal.

My Background and Approach

My goal is to do the opposite of what anxiety demands: be clear, and concrete, and offer a plan. I specialize in trauma informed therapies; EMDR and Lifespan Integration, Solution-Focused Therapy and provide psychoeducation. I am trained in Lifespan Integration a therapy modality that clears past trauma and heals attachment deficits to create a stronger well-being. I gently challenge old beliefs and work collaboratively with my clients to support growth and create new perspectives of their strengths to help them in work, home and relationships. I provide tools and strategies to help clients manage anxiety, to heal and leave the past in the past.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Everyone needs support. I enjoy being that person- someone who will listen, support, and gently challenge old beliefs and habits. I believe that everyone has the resources within them to achieve their potential. I am a life-long learner, attending trainings and reading the newest science and research on complex trauma. I am a native Oregonian and enjoy being outdoors, watching the seasons change, and helping others see the best in themselves. I strive to create a safe space and inclusive environment where all are welcome, respected, and heard.
