About My Clients

Talk therapy isn't always enough to create lasting change. If you're struggling with the past, substance use or emotional challenges, EMDR offers a different path forward by helping the brain integrate experiences that haven't fully healed and lessen the impact of triggers that drive undesirable actions. We can reduce the intensity of your painful memories and shift patterns of behavior that no longer serve you. You'll feel more present, connected, and in control of your life.

My Background and Approach

After two decades in corporate marketing, I followed my heart and went back to school to become a professional counselor. I work with adults who are trying to overcome mental health or addiction issues, often occurring together. My approach seamlessly blends traditional insight-oriented therapy with advanced clinical tools including standard EMDR, DeTUR (addiction and dysfunctional behaviors), EMDR-GRIEF (bereavement and psychological loss), DBT, and CBT. I hold a master's degree in Counseling Psychology: Addiction Studies from Lewis & Clark College. I am fully credentialed in both mental health and substance use treatment in Oregon and Washington.
