About My Clients

Whether you’re holding it all together on the outside—or everything’s falling apart—you’re here because something needs to change. The anxiety, the shutdowns, the way relationships leave you feeling small or unseen—it’s not random. It’s rooted. I work with adults across Oregon—online or in my Salem office—who are carrying the weight of past trauma. In therapy, we’ll slow down, unpack the pain behind the patterns, and gently rebuild safety from the inside out. You don’t have to carry it alone an

My Background and Approach

Smiling when your crying inside, anxious and not able to do all you want to do, feeling as if there is a black hole of nothingness inside you. If that resonates, know you’re not alone and relief is possible. The tools that I will provide you with are the tools I have been perfecting over my career working with people just like you. Drawing on evidence‑based practices from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment Theory. That means we’ll look at the way your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected, and explore how early relationships may still be shaping your experiences today. My style is direct yet compassionate, grounding insight in practical application so you can cultivate calm, resilience, and connection. I offer telehealth sessions across Oregon and in-person counseling in Salem.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Therapy is a collaborative journey rooted in respect, empathy, and a deep belief in your inherent strength. I believe that every person has a capacity for growth and healing and that the therapeutic relationship itself can be a powerful catalyst for change. In a safe and nonjudgmental space, we honor your experiences, validate your emotions, and co-create a path tailored to your needs. I believe that insight, when paired with practical skills, fosters lasting transformation. I see challenges as opportunities for resilience, and I commit to walking alongside you with compassion, authenticity, and unwavering support. Together, we can cultivate self‑awareness, rebuild trust in yourself and others, and empower meaningful, sustainable change. Confidentiality, mutual respect, and clear boundaries are the foundation of our work, ensuring you feel seen, heard, and valued throughout this process. ​
