About My Clients

I offer therapy that starts with your emotions, lived experience and focuses on compassion as a tool for healing. I utilize a trauma-informed nature-based therapy and believe nature is a powerful tool for keeping us grounded when things in our lives feel out of control. Together we can work on helping you feel more grounded, connected and at peace. I offer telehealth counseling across Oregon, including Portland, Salem, Eugene, Bend, and Medford.

My Background and Approach

Much of my work has involved trauma and helping people make sense of what happened and how it shows up now. I listened first, reflect what I'm hearing, and then look at what emotions that brings up for you, in a warm, non-judgemental, calming space. I also offer walk-and-talk, nature-based sessions for people who feel better processing outdoors. Finding the right fit matters. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation on my website. Evening hours available.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I work with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma related to their relationships, family or religion. Together we'll decide what you want to address and the changes that matter most. Whether you want targeted goals or steady place to process , we'll choose what works best for you.
