About My Clients
If you are an adult (18 and older) living in Oregon, keep reading! Are you struggling to navigate anxiety or depression, or heal from your difficult or traumatic experiences? Maybe you have an idea of what your challenges are, but you're not sure where to start? I want to help you deepen your insight and awareness of what's going on, so that we can apply tools that are suited to you and your needs to help you make meaningful changes in your life.
My Background and Approach
My clinical training is based in social work which means that I want to understand the whole picture- your past, present, and goals for the future- so that I can provide you with the best, most applicable treatment possible. We'll look at you as an individual, and also your relationships to the people in your life and the systems that impact you, to identify strengths we can capitalize on and barriers we want break through. I am specifically trained in Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS), which helps us to identify and heal emotional wounds that may be keeping you stuck in old patterns. I am also trained to provide Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) to individuals who want to decrease the lasting impact of traumatic experiences.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that we all have the ability to learn, heal and grow as human beings. We may not be able to change what has happened to us in the past, and there will always be challenges to face, but we CAN do our best to reflect on ourselves and our experiences in a meaningful way that will prepare us to move forward as gracefully as possible. I am an ally to the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities and am passionate about providing inclusive, accessible care. I stand for women's and Trans rights, I stand with immigrants and marginalized communities, and I believe it is everyone's right to have access to affordable physical and mental health care.
