About My Clients
Those that come to my practice are often looking for a safe space to talk. I help my client's transition through challenging parts of their lives, and overcome life obstacles. Together we will identify coping skills and valued actions to help you heal. Overtime we can help you better understand your behaviors and emotions, resolve traumas, and find meaning in life. I believe you are truly the expert of your own experience, and therapy is not one-size-fits-all.
My Background and Approach
As a counselor I provide an environment where you will receive unconditional positive regard, acceptance, and genuineness. When we work together I will hope to form a secure bond between us, where you feel safe to express your true self, thoughts, and feelings without fear of negativity. I will always be authentic with you, meaning that I will tell you how I really think and feel, without pretenses. The condition of authenticity creates an environment where you will feel safe to explore and experiment with new ways of being; such as changing unwanted behaviors or attitudes, emotional processing, and learning to live in line with personal values. I received a Masters in Applied Psychology in 2019 from Pacific University, where I completed my practicum year at William Temple House, a non-profit in in Portland. After my graduation I trained in behavioral interventions at Portland Anxiety Clinic and Collective Care Clinics. In 2021, I opened my private practice and have worked their since.
