About My Clients
Perhaps you are feeling a loss of meaning, a loss of connection, or are in the midst of a life transition and that has led you here. Whatever has led you to seek therapy, I am glad you are here and I welcome you as you are, as you were, and as you would like to be. I approach my work with a desire to connect and to understand, to hold hope, and to guide towards insight.
My Background and Approach
My approach to therapy is rooted in warmth and connection and you: who you are, where you come from, and what is meaningful to you. Our work together will be deep and relational. Within this person- and relationship-centered approach I bring attention to early attachment and current connections through the lens of feminist liberation psychology. This approach means that I see your context on a historical, local, and cultural scale as inextricable from your current mental health. Within the therapy space I apply a wide variety of techniques drawing from: Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Polyvagal therapy, EMDR, and somatic and emotional processing.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a psychologist licensed in the state of Oregon. I grew up in Northeast Portland and have lived in New England, the Mountain West, the Midwest, southern California and northern Washington. I love hiking, fiction reading, camping, yoga, eating, and running. I feel so grateful for my work which brings me into connection with so many incredible people and I look very forward to meeting you when you are ready.
