My clients are individuals who are motivated for change and eager to focus on solutions rather than problems. They come to therapy ready to explore their goals and take steps toward a brighter future. Whether you’re facing life transitions, relationship challenges, or seeking clarity, I work with people who value a future-focused, brief, and effective approach to therapy.

I am pleased to support a variety of clients: folks interested in looking at intergenerational trauma, sex workers, members of the kink community, those with a history of trauma/abuse, Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), other healers, people with curiosity to engage with their inner parts, members of the queer community, the spiritually/religiously wounded, those interested in diving deeper, & those struggling with codependent relationships.
In both my work and personal life, I firmly believe in the benefits of therapy and the ability to integrate our challenges into our lives to create new and healthy dynamics. I am warm, creative, affirming, and direct as a therapist. I believe personal growth is a collaborative endeavor that requires caring, free from judgment. I work with teenagers and young adults (ages 15 - 26) challenged with co-occuring mental health and substance use disorders.
If you’re looking for therapy of depth, insight, and durability; if you’re seeking a highly-trained therapist with over 37 years of experience who listens carefully, deeply, and thoughtfully; if you’ve been disappointed by ‘quick fix’ approaches that promise much and deliver little; if you want an individualized approach designed specifically with your needs in mind, you are in the right place.
I mostly support individuals dealing with acute or chronic depressive and/or anxious thinking, feeling, and behaving. Through a combination of mindful education via psychological research, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy I help clients break unwanted patterns that prevent the sustainable peace and happiness they desire.
You may be seeking support for feelings of overwhelm and anxiety, or a sense of disconnection from yourself and others. Perhaps your are working to heal from a high your emotions, relationships, and sexuality. Whatever reason you are bravely reaching out, there is hope! I desire to provide a safe and confidential space for your story to be heard and honored.

Do you feel overwhelmed, juggling school, work, relationships, or figuring out what’s next? Maybe you’re stuck in a cycle of stress or anxiety, unsure how to move forward. Therapy offers a space to pause, regroup, and focus on what matters. Let’s work together to help you manage life’s challenges and build the confidence to thrive.
Are you feeling internally conflicted and that is making you stuck and anxious? Maybe that internal conflict is manifesting in conflicts with others? Are you ready to be kinder to yourself? Are you ready to be curious about yourself? Are you ready to get along with yourself and others better? Do you want more freedom, choice, autonomy, even agency in their life, but are struggling with how to get it? Yes, is this you, is this what you want? Yes, then you have come to the right place.
Has life thrown you for a bit of loop recently? Maybe that recent break up has left you reeling. Or this recent move has been hard. Grief can come in many forms, a big move, birth of a baby, an end of a friendship, or death of a loved one. Loss is some of life’s toughest stuff. Feeling alone in this world can be pretty scary. Lets work towards a way for you to find yourself again. I have lots of coping skills in my pocket to share with you.
I enjoy facilitating reconnection from a place of playfulness and open curiosity. The types of clients I typically work with are those struggling with identity, family wounds, depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, LGBTQA+ issues, relational struggles, and those who do not feel they fit into a prescribed box.
Do you worry constantly, feel on edge all of the time or have a persistent fear of failure or judgement? Feel like you’re not good enough, not living the life you want to live, or that you’ve lost touch with the things that bring you contentment with little hope that you can live life in a fulfilling way? Have you had a traumatic experience that left you feeling disconnected and having a hard time trusting people, with the need to protect and numb yourself? If so, I may be able to help.

You may feel entrenched in old, ineffective patterns that are difficult to break. You may feel confused or directionless due to unexpected crisis. You may be adjusting to a change in your physical, mental, or social abilities. Or you may feel that something is wrong without even knowing what the problem is. I provide mental health counseling for individuals in the Portland area so they can navigate these kinds of transitions and answer their inner call for change.
Asking for help is one of the most challenging things to do for ourselves, but it is one of the best ways of self-investing. When we physically do not feel well, we reach out to our doctors or nurses for support because we think that is normal. When we do not feel well mentally, it can give us a sense of not feeling normal, and while everyone's story is different, it is the same because we all have one.
My clients often come in feeling anxious, burned out, wanting to explore childhood events that affected them, or wanting to learn how to relate to others and to themselves in more positive ways. I provide mindful, collaborative, and playful therapy to adults, parents of children of all ages, and adolescent girls (8+). I enjoy working with adults who care for others (parents, caregivers, and people in caring professions), and have a background as a school counselor (I love teens!).
Through Therapy, Trauma-Informed Breathwork, & Coaching, I work collaboratively with clients who are struggling with navigating the ups, downs, and transitions in life. Some other areas may be: navigating relationships, family dynamics, divorce, or simply seeking personal growth. When you embody & cultivate a deeper connection to yourself, you are empowered to break through barriers & negative cycles, tap into your intuition & inner resources, uncover untapped resources, and overcome challenges.
Have you ever felt like you didn't fit in? Maybe you've spent your life pursuing interests and passions that others didn't understand or appreciate. As a specialist, I work with individuals who embrace their uniqueness, whether they're gamers, bookworms, metaphysical enthusiasts, geeks, artists, or creatives. Moreover, I provide support for those in the LGBT, poly, and kink communities. Together, we'll create an affirming space to explore your identity and find acceptance.

Clients find me when worried their trauma will affect parenting. They come after violating or confusing births or while planning the impossibly 'perfect’ birth. Some arrive postpartum- feeling trapped, sad, anxious, & resentful (and then ashamed by their feelings). Folx show up feeling wildly reactive despite heroic efforts to chill, or when realizing that parenting pokes at every wound they didn’t even know they carried. Therapists come to shore up when worn down by life as a parent & healer.
