About My Clients
Most of the people I work with have a lot of anxiety or other mood or trauma-related issues & our efforts together are usually geared towards either understanding those feelings & where they come from, developing ways to minimize the impact &/or developing healthier ways of coping. I enjoy clients who are motivated and open to trying new things. We do this collaboratively by developing treatment goals early on & monitoring progress, celebrating wins along the way.
My Background and Approach
I have well over a decade of experience helping adults and teens navigate anything from crisis to every day, run-of-the mill problems. My Oregon license is in good standing and I regularly stay up-to-date on continuing educational courses. My approach is to utilize a holistic combination of IFS, CBT, mindfulness, and some experiential and spiritual-like modalities, customized and tailored to each client I collaboratively work with. I specialize in anxiety presentations as well as those working through common life events and stressors.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My approach to counseling comes from a caring, collaborative, and holistic framework. I view my role as a practical and nurturing guide whose mission is to help others heal, think differently, and reach their goals, whatever they may be. I believe in focusing on one’s strengths and available resources to inspire creativity, empowerment, and foster change. I believe in equality, in validating feelings, but challenging thoughts/behaviors. I believe that people need non-judgemental safe spaces and that they're often more capable than they give themselves credit for.
