About My Clients
Do you find yourself repeating unhealthy patterns despite knowing and wanting something different for yourself? That's where i can help. I specialize in helping people who struggle from the effects of trauma, relationships/dating, and issues around self confidence, self esteem, & perfectionism. Life can be hard but together, we can make it easier.
My Background and Approach
I've worked as a therapist in Canada and the US for over 20 years across various clinical settings including; inpatient, outpatient, community health, crisis counseling, & as a college professor. I currently live in Oregon and I am licensed to practice in OR & Washington. My specialty is in trauma-informed care with advanced training in EMDR and IFS. I integrate neuroscience with psychology to help support change - not just symptom management. If it seems like we might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out. I offer a free exploratory chat to find out how I work, how I may be able to help, and to answer any questions you may have. I am currently offering in person and telehealth sessions. My office is located in Hillsboro, Oregon. I also offer limited evening and weekend availabilities.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My private practice was born from a deeply personal journey - one of struggle, resilience, & transformation. As a skinny, awkward kid, I knew what it was like to feel invisible, to battle social anxiety, & to carry the weight of rejection & bullying. The pain of those experiences was then compounded by years of trauma which left me feeling stuck, uncertain, & alone. Through my own healing, I discovered the power of self-worth, confidence, & resilience. Now as a therapist, I've made it my mission to guide others on their own path to self-empowerment. My calling is to help people break through self doubt, overcome past wounds, & step into the strong, confident lives they deserve. I help clients turn pain into power, fear into self confidence, & struggle into success. Now matter where you are in your journey, you don't have to do it alone. I'm here to help you show up for yourself, reclaim your confidence, and thrive - even in difficult moments.
